Definition
VDI Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is the

desktops on remote server setup.

Difference
between VDI and DaaS that will
help you decide what's right for
your business.

Single-Tenant vs. Multi-Tenant
VDI VDI is a single-tenant model, which means
that it is deployed to cater to one user. The
single user can be as large as an entire
organization with 500 desktops.
DaaS DaaS, as mentioned, is a cloud-based
delivery model, which facilitates multi-tenant
hosting. Hence, various users from different
geographies can get virtual desktops from the
service provider.

Cost of Deployment

• VDI
• VDI deployment involves the installation of
  high-end hardware or servers. Hence, it
  requires an upfront investment. Other associated
  costs like power and cooling
• should also be considered.

DaaS In DaaS, providers offer you virtual
desktops on a monthly or yearly subscription
basis. Hence, you can shift your fixed capital
to operational expenses.

IT Management
VDI In VDI, your in-house IT team must take
care of all the IT, like installation,
deployment, updating software, and backups.
DaaS In DaaS, providers take the load off your
shoulders, and they manage and maintain all the
IT work. Unlike VDI, you don't have to invest in
an in- house IT team.
10
Security
VDI In VDI, servers and storage devices are
vulnerable to becoming a victim of theft and
cybercrimes. However, you can set up physical
security for the devices.
DaaS In DaaS, providers keep your data under
security safeguards like OS patching and
hardening, data encryption, Intrusion detection,
and prevention etc.
11
Business Continuity
VDI In case of mishaps and disasters, your
on-premise setup like servers and storage
devices could be damaged, leading to loss
of crucial data and capital.

• DaaS
• Providers offer you a DRaaS(Disaster Recovery as
  a Service) in which your data is replicated in
  multiple data centers so that it can be
  restored easily in case of any
• mishap or disaster.
