The Problem

VDI is complex, risky, and expensive

VDI has long been the go-to solution for extending app access to contractors and employees on unmanaged devices, in spite of key challenges:

 

Complexity

Managing agents and infrastructure creates IT headaches

 

Insecurity

VDI solutions lack robust data security to prevent breaches

 

Cost

Subscriptions can cost hundreds of dollars per user per year
