GARTNER® REPORTHow to choose a desktop delivery model for the digital workplace
Download this complimentary Gartner® Report to help you navigate the choice of the best desktop delivery architecture by identifying use cases that align with factors such as worker location, the need for a permanent or temporary desktop, desktop complexity, compliance, and legacy application footprint.
With employees and applications more distributed than ever, I&O leaders responsible for the digital workplace must evaluate desktop solutions (PCs, VDI, DaaS) and align them to appropriate use cases to be successful.
Most organizations have valid use cases for multiple desktop delivery approaches across PCs, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and desktop as a service (DaaS) delivery models. DaaS is becoming an increasingly viable option, given its maturity, feature set and participating vendors.
DaaS is a maturing option, with spending projected to increase 20% in 2023 and by 15% more in 2024. Organizations often have difficulty determining how much control to cede to DaaS vendors and how to integrate DaaS with existing VDI deployments. This, along with the significant cost of DaaS, has made digital workplace leaders hesitant to adopt it,
This Gartner® Report provides strategic insights on balancing PCs, VDI, and DaaS, including advice on when to use a hybrid approach or migrate to DaaS for smaller deployments. With DaaS spending expected to rise, this report helps digital workplace leaders optimize their desktop strategy to meet current and future needs and ensure the right mix of desktop delivery models to support business goals and improve efficiency.
