The facts about transitioning from VDI to DaaS
Modernizing your VDI environment:
The 3 biggest myths explained
There’s a lot of talk these days about desktop as a service (DaaS) and VDI solutions. Is one better than the other? Once upon a time, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) required a lot of hands-on patching, upgrading, and day-to-day maintenance. Today, things look much different. With DaaS, you can experience all the same advantages of traditional VDI—minus the IT complexity and physical infrastructure costs.
Adopting cloud services can be a big decision—one that ultimately opens doors to a wide array of business-critical advantages. Still, we understand that you have questions. You may be wondering about issues related to security, costs, and complexity. Keep reading for insights into some of the biggest myths around migrating workloads to the cloud—and to see why there’s never been a better time to take advantage of Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service).
MYTH
Cloud security threats increase risk.
FACT
Many IT and business executives fear moving workloads to the cloud will open the business to security vulnerabilities and compliance issues. In reality, transitioning to Citrix DaaS can dramatically reduce the risk of data loss and compromised systems. From comprehensive cloud-delivered security to advanced access policy controls to robust security analytics, you’ll have all the tools you need to ensure your apps and data are continually protected—no matter where employees work or which devices they use. All without the risks and vulnerabilities associated with manual updates in the datacenter.

Recent research indicates that 40% of Fortune 500 firms will be wiped out by digital disruption within 10 years, and that many businesses are not fully ready to execute on digital strategies.1 Add in the fact that 82% of companies plan to embrace hybrid work models.2
