After the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual desktops have gained traction in the 
emerging hybrid work environment. There has been a fluctuating demand for 
remote work, placing unprecedented orders on IT admins, budgets, and 
infrastructure. VDI and DaaS are two robust virtual desktop solutions that 
enable you to leverage your existing on-premises and cloud investments into 
a secure and cost-effective platform. VDI and DaaS allow users to access 
desktops and applications remotely while minimizing the added pressure 
placed on the IT infrastructure.
