Cloud Based Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Global Revenues to Reach $13.4 Bn in 2013

Monday 6 January 2014, Amsterdam

The new analysis indicates that the total value of the cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) revenues will reach $13.4 billion in 2013, fuelled by an ever increasing demand from enterprises to cut down on IT costs and establish an efficient cloud based infrastructure, which can also effectively manage mobile workforce.

Companies are often held back by an inflexible and complex IT infrastructure that cannot keep up with the changing needs of business. These restraints result in slow deployment of critical applications and services, limited resources, poor operation management, and unpredictable system integration.

Virtualised servers and desktops hold the key to more efficient IT management. Although virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) has historically been deemed too expensive, the recent surge of cloud computing offers a cost-effective, managed platform for VDI that stands to revolutionise the structure of enterprise IT. Operated in a cloud environment, it facilitates the flow of information between corporate offices and increases the productivity of employees who work remotely or from mobile enterprise devices such as smartphones, laptops, or tablet computers.

Collaboration through cloud also enables greater access to enterprise systems and data through a wider range of devices. This includes mobile devices which are increasingly used to access corporate systems and data. Corporate data resides in the cloud allowing employees to access the information when needed. The increasing sophistication of mobile technology and its growing adoption in the enterprise segment will contribute to drive demand for cloud-based VDI.

The new report predicts huge growth rates in the cloud-based VDI, particularly in the Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) submarket. The market is poised for vendors and solution providers as there is a huge uptake from the enterprise sector by organizations of all sizes. Hence the overall cloud-based VDI market is growing at a rapid pace and will continue to do so over the forecast period 2013-2023.

The author of The Cloud Based Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Report 2013-2023 commented that ‘Realistically, the drive in adoption of cloud-based VDI is the result of a number of factors and not only the potential benefits for companies. The recent economic climate has been forcing many companies to reduce spending while remaining competitive. The proliferation of high-end mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets in enterprises means that access to enterprise applications is becoming more mobile.’
