• Benefits of hosted virtual desktops
• Added Security
• VDI offers the benefit of added security as a
  result of the centralization.
• All your data is stored on a centralised server,
  is password protected. Features such as auto
  logout also ensure your data is secured against
  potential theft in case of device loss.
• Cost
• Because VDI run on a centralised data centre
  computer, the individual machines in the network
  require lesser RAM, lesser
• storage and lesser computing power.
• This means investment in individual machines and
  hence a huge cost saving.
• Significant Reduction of Hands-On Management Time
• Software update patch management has been a
  challenge for every IT department the world over.
  
• Differences in individual machines and the
  geographical spread of the offices has made this
  process very slow.
• With hosted virtual desktop infrastructure you
  eliminate the time and effort for rolling out
  software updates.
• VDI thus makes patch management very agile.

• 4. Accessibility
• VDI enables access to your desktop any where, any
  time, and from almost any device with an internet
  connection.
• This has become extremely important since in
  todays age many companies offer their employees
  to work from home, and many employees are always
  on the move.
• 5. Data back-up abilities
• Traditionally, employees have been working on
  local machines with all their data files stored
  on the local hard drive.
• This leaves data with the risk of getting lost
  due to damage to hard disk, device theft or
  otherwise.
• VDI eliminates these potential data losses by
  storing all data on a centralized server.
• 6. Reliability
• A correct VDI guarantees 99.9 availability of
  virtual desktop thus making this entire system
  extremely reliable

• Is HVDI right for my small medium businesses?
• Though every business has unique operational
  needs they have a lot to benefit from the
  centralized control over data, security, and
  performance that HVDI provides.
• Small medium businesses often evaluate just the
  cost implementation of HVDI and hence dont opt
  for it.
• But when evaluated over the long term, hosted
  virtual desktop infrastructure delivers a lot of
  cost hardware equipment savings thus making it
  extremely viable for businesses of all sizes to
  adopt it.
