The Problem

VDI places undue pressure on IT teams and their budgets

Despite being slow, complex, expensive, and insecure, VDI has long been the de facto solution for extending application access to unmanaged devices.

  1. VDI is complex, creating headaches in managing its agents and infrastructure.
  2. VDI is expensive, costing $1000 per user per year in licensing—not to mention the compute costs of VDI instances.
  3. VDI lacks data security as it pertains to extending access to part-time employees and contractors.
