Globally, the number of employees permanently working remotely is expected to double in 20211. Multiple company workspaces have already gone virtual with many of their employees working from home for the long term. Enterprises now have increasing demand for secure VDI environments at scale to support the needs of an expanded and elastic remote workforce. This demand has catapulted VDI to an enterprise-class, tier 1 workload, on a par with SAP or Oracle. It is valued for its operational flexibility and increased security profile when compared to conventional desktop approaches. It organizations are advancing their VDI environments to enterprise class with hybrid/multi-cloud support, especially in light of the “new normal” of the global remote workforce.
