Remote work is becoming increasingly popular, and workplace virtualization technology (VDI solutions) helps companies organize their work processes efficiently, while maintaining security and reducing costs. What is VDI — Virtual desktops? VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) is a technology that allows you to run an operating system and applications not on an employee's local computer, but on a virtual machine hosted on a server in a data center. Users connect to their virtual desktops via the Internet or a corporate network from any device — PC, laptop, tablet, or thin client. The main advantages of VDI: Remote desktop access from anywhere in the world; Centralized data storage in a secure data center; Saving on PC hardware and maintenance; Increased information security. How Desktop Virtualization (VDI) Works The administrator creates virtual machines with the necessary set of programs and access rights, which users see as a familiar desktop. Specialized software or lightweight thin client devices are used for connection, which provide fast and secure access to a virtual workplace. VDI Architecture Main components: Servers and data centers - can be on—premises or leased from cloud providers; Virtualization platform — for example, VMware vSphere Desktop; Licenses and OS software, business applications (1C, SAP, AutoCAD, Photoshop, etc.); Client devices - "thin clients" or ordinary PCs with client software. ITGLOBAL.COM has infrastructure in several countries (the Netherlands, Canada, the USA, the UAE, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan), which allows for stable operation of VDI at the international level.

BYOD models (employees with their own devices) and managed corporate devices are used. Data security is stored in a secure data center, reducing the risk of information loss due to loss or theft of devices. The administrator can control access, restrict operations, and use a VPN. Centralized management Rapid deployment of jobs based on templates; Easy to update applications on the server; Minimal breakage of "thin clients"; Unification and standardization of the work environment. Saving on IT The cost of buying and maintaining a PC, electricity, and the number of IT staff are reduced. Virtual desktops allow you to optimize your company's budget. Disadvantages of VDI solutions High initial investments in server hardware and infrastructure; The need for a stable and fast Internet connection; Difficulties with large-scale deployment in large organizations; Requirements for security and protection against cyber attacks. Who Can Benefit from VDI?? Remote teams with employees in different regions and countries; Project organizations with temporary specialists; Companies working with heavy software (AutoCAD, Photoshop, SAP); Firms with a network of branches in need of centralized management; Financial and government structures with high security requirements; Organizations with seasonal staff increases (call centers, educational institutions). Types of VDI — on-premises infrastructure and DaaS cloud service On-Premise VDI It is deployed on the company's own IT infrastructure. Suitable for large organizations with multiple offices. It requires significant investments in equipment and qualified personnel. DaaS (Desktop as a Service) A cloud solution, where the provider (for example, ITGLOBAL.COM ) manages the infrastructure and provides virtual desktops by subscription. It is convenient for fast-growing companies and those with seasonal load peaks. GPU-enabled VDI For tasks with high graphics loads (3D modeling, video editing), virtual desktops with powerful NVIDIA graphics processors are available, which allows you to efficiently allocate resources and optimize costs. International use ITGLOBAL.COM provides global access with enhanced data protection, distributed data center integration, and performance optimization for remote employees worldwide. The company uses state-of-the-art Intel Xeon 5th generation hardware and NetApp storage systems, which guarantees high speed and security of virtual desktops. VDI tariffs are flexibly adapted to the needs of the customer, including GPU rental and license options.
