For many organizations, building and maintaining in-house virtual desktop infrastructure isn’t a wise allocation of time, budget and resources. This highly specialized technology requires expertise and purpose-built infrastructure. Since providing virtual desktops isn’t a business revenue driver for most organizations, those resources are better directly to a business critical focus.
This makes outsourced VDI or desktop as a service (DaaS) an ideal solution for companies that want the benefits of virtual desktops without the headache and cost of supporting the initiative in house. Outsourcing desktop virtualization gets you access to purpose built and well maintain infrastructure, the most cutting edge features and updates, patching and environment assistance, and the option of bundling additional cloud solutions to reduce vendor bloat … if you select the right provider. Since DaaS and outsourced VDI services are still a relatively new and fast growing industry, providers offer a wide range of solutions and support. In order to ensure you get the services, solutions and support needed to successfully implement a virtual desktop initiative, start by clearly defining your program parameters and needs. (You can use the DaaS Provider Evaluation Checklist if you’re still in the project definition and research phase).
Once you have a clear understanding of your project demands, send your top DaaS providers a request for information (RFI) or request for proposal (RFP) that outlines your needs and collects vital information for decision making. This Desktop as a Service RFP Template will give you the framework to customize your RFP specifically for a virtual desktop project.
