‍What the Hex is EUC? How Dizzion’s Hexagrid Reframes the Digital Workspace

Planning your digital workspace strategy today is like assembling the perfect toolkit. You could grab an all-in-one set that’s easy and fast, or you could carefully choose each tool to suit your unique projects. One approach prioritizes convenience, the other precision. But the smartest strategies strike a balance: flexible enough to grow with your needs, without compromising clarity or control.

That’s exactly where Dizzion’s EUC Hexagrid comes in. It gives IT leaders a structured way to understand the landscape and choose the right mix of technologies so they’re not locked into rigid systems or forced to start from scratch.

The Challenge: EUC is Expanding, Fast

End-user computing is how businesses support secure, productive, and flexible work across devices, networks, and environments.

The digital workspace has exploded in scope along with the technologies supporting it. EUC now spans virtual desktops, secure browsers, app streaming, endpoint management, identity protection, and more. On top of this, there are often entirely different vendors providing support.

As the stack becomes more layered and interdependent, many organizations face three key challenges:

• Fragmentation across platforms, policies, and teams
• Blind spots in security, app delivery, or user experience
• Decision fatigue from a constantly shifting vendor landscape

Across all of these factors, things can get confusing or frustrating, and even seasoned IT leaders can struggle to connect the dots. Here’s how Dizzion’s EUC Hexagrid can help:

A Clear, Modern View of the EUC Ecosystem

The Dizzion EUC Hexagrid is a visual blueprint for the entire EUC stack. It maps over 280 vendors across 6 core pillars and 27 sub-pillars, giving IT decision-makers a full-spectrum view of the tools, capabilities, and gaps in their digital workspace strategy.

The 6 Pillars of the Hexagrid:

1. Access: Device types, OS layers, spatial computing, enterprise browsers

2. Virtual Desktops & Applications: VDI, Cloud PC, DaaS platforms and services

3. Device, OS & User Management: UEM, DEX, RMM, profile management

4. Security: Endpoint protection, IAM, SASE, application delivery controllers

5. App Management: Packaging, asset config, app layering and streaming

6. Collaboration, AI & Applications: Workspace AI, cloud storage, peripherals, unified comms

Why the Hexagrid Stands Out

Unlike generic market maps or single-vendor diagrams, the Hexagrid is neutral, dynamic, and practical. It offers:

• A holistic view of the EUC space, from infrastructure to experience
• Actionable clarity on where your current tools fit and where they don’t
• Vendor diversity across emerging and established categories
• Strategic depth for long-term planning and real-time decisions

The Hexagrid is a decision support tool for CxOs, workspace architects, and EUC specialists alike. It lets you see complexity from a higher vantage point and cut through it.

“The EUC Hexagrid helps IT leaders spot gaps, prioritize investments, and navigate change with confidence.” 

— Robert Green, CEO of Dizzion 

Technical Deep Dive: What’s Inside the Grid

Each pillar in the Hexagrid is backed by detailed guidance. For example:

• Access includes hardware types, thin clients, OS layers, spatial computing platforms, and secure enterprise browsers.
• Virtual Desktops & Apps breaks down traditional VDI, turnkey DaaS, Cloud PC models, and backend orchestration tools.
• Security covers everything from zero-trust access (ZTNA) and endpoint detection to next-gen firewalls and policy engines.
• Workspace AI explores copilots, automation agents, and platform-native productivity assistants like Google Workspace and Microsoft Copilot.

Designed for What’s Next: AI, XR, and Beyond

The Hexagrid adapts to changes in the market and is updated every year with attention to next-gen EUC forces, including:

• AI Integration: From productivity copilots to IT automation and predictive analytics
• Spatial Computing: AR/VR-enabled apps for training, design, and collaboration
• Digital Transformation: Decoupling apps and data from devices and OSs, enabling true workspace mobility

EUC has evolved and focuses on delivering the right experience, securely, wherever and however people work. The Hexagrid reflects this evolution with modern, forward-looking structure.

A Living Framework for the Community

Unlike static market maps, the EUC Hexagrid is a living, evolving resource. It’s updated in collaboration with the EUC community, and Dizzion encourages professionals to contribute feedback, vendor updates, and real-world insights.
