According to Indeed.com, it takes an average of more than 50 days to fill an open Citrix or VMware Horizon engineering role. It can take considerably longer to find talent that also has Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud expertise. What does waiting two months to fill an open role do to end-user productivity? Let’s just say it doesn’t help. With managed VDI, you could have the expertise you need in place in two weeks, which is much better than the alternative. If you have 400 employees or less, having the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or VMware Horizon VDI environment managed or comanaged will be less expensive than hiring someone. Everything necessary to have a thriving VDI environment, managed VDI provides. Savings on tooling, consulting services, etc., usually leads to net cost reduction for even the largest environments before taking improved end-user productivity into account. Managed VDI can offer 100 percent goal alignment. Companies want their employees to be as productive as possible, with no IT issues preventing them from completing their jobs. Managed VDI can ensure goals are aligned, incentivizing the group managing the virtual environment to avoid problems or resolve them as rapidly as possible, keeping end-users productive. CONTROL Reasons to Give Managed VDI a Try For many years, organizations worldwide have turned to virtual environments to help their IT teams minimize costs and ensure their IT environments are running as efficiently as possible. However, regardless of the kind they implement – Citrix, VMware, or something else – virtual environments can be challenging to maintain at optimal performance. Many organizations employ IT staff members that specifically deal with keeping virtual environments running at favorable levels, but these individuals can leave for a similar position at another company, leaving open positions for weeks and even months at a time. When open positions go unfilled by quality candidates, organizations and end-users may suffer unnecessarily and negatively affect their productivity by waiting for new employees to fill this specialized role. During the last decade or so, a new option for addressing VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) environment staffing has emerged – managed VDI. This approach removes the traditional risks and unknowns associated with the new hire process and guarantees VDI performance. Here are the top 20 benefits that managing or co-managing VDI and virtual environments provide for companies: By Val King 18 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS rwsmagazine.com
