Dell Technologies VDI Solutions offer solutions that provide performance and experience levels that meet or exceed those of physical workstations while also providing the security, flexibility, and manageability that is inherent with VDI. The solution combines leading technologies from Dell Technologies, VMware, and NVIDIA, with VDI workstations that run on Dell EMC VxRail hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI).
The following table shows the benefits of VDI in any environment, including that of FSI:
| Feature | Benefit |
| Centralized management | With faster provisioning of virtual desktops the timeline of projects is reduced. IT can focus instead on issues that are more important to the business while preventing and managing threats and vulnerabilities efficiently. |
| Ease of maintenance | Recovery of virtual desktops more quickly if there is an outage compared to a physical workstation. Less hardware to manage means reduced maintenance. |
| Ease of access | Virtual workstations located in the data center, unlike physical workstations that are typically outside the data center network. Access to large datasets using virtual workstations from global, mobile, or third-party users requires less network traffic as only pixel streams from workstation displays are transmitted to end-point devices over the network. |
| Accelerated TTM | Improved employee productivity through ease of access to graphics-enhanced applications. |
| Flexible workplace | Ability to work from multiple devices and locations combined with freedom from being tethered to physical workstations. |
| Secure your IP | Secure intellectual property within the perimeter of your organization. Virtual workstations reside in the data center and only the encrypted pixel stream from their displays travel outside the data center perimeter. |
| Improved version control | Centralized data eliminates the need to synchronize the distributed datasets. Syncing issues are reduced, and everyone is working on the same up-to-date model. |
| Easy life cycle management | Virtual workstation solutions support vMotion, which enables migration between hardware. Ability to perform maintenance on hardware and workstations without affecting production hours. |
