![]() ![]() Since the only OS that really matters is on the application server, users can utilize laptops or devices with back level OSs installed with few issues. Since the OS migration will never end, eliminating the need to push upgrades altogether is a powerful reason to adopt EUC and VDI. Now, even Windows 10 users are experiencing OS updates that can take hours to complete and stymie users as to what is happening to their machines. OS Migration woesMany organizations have struggled with the Windows 7 – Windows 10 migration, whether due to hardware incompatibilities, users who resist change, or budgetary issues. This not only put pressure on IT to support company-owned laptops and smartphones from remote locations, it also made endpoint management considerably more complex, as remote users added BYOD devices including tablets into the mix.Ģ. Mobility: The new normalEven before Covid-19 forced many from their place of work, it had become more common for knowledge workers to work from a remote location – especially their home, and from multiple devices. ![]() Here are five major drivers cited by Forbes:ġ. There are both technological and societal factors that are driving the need for EUC in the enterprise. To serve this need, IT relies on EUC and VDI to deliver on-premises like performance required for the user experience to be satisfactory, regardless of which device they are utilizing at the moment. Knowledge workers have become highly mobile over the past decade, sales professionals have always relied on some form of remote access to enterprise systems, but now employees in every area from CAD/CAM designers to developers to line of business users are finding the need to access enterprise resources from home or other remote location. There is no doubt that EUC adds tremendous value during the current pandemic, when many employees have no physical access to their previous work computer installations. With 75 million Americans currently working from home, some IT industry analysts believe the EUC and VDI are increasingly important to enterprise IT, and some believe today’s desktops will cease to exist as we know them, replaced by thin client devices entirely. That back-end infrastructure includes servers, high performance storage such as flash to contain the desktop session images, and sufficient storage and networking infrastructure to handle the number of total and concurrent sessions expected to operate. Typically, EUC requires enterprise infrastructure to run the applications and manage the virtual desktop ‘sessions’ created when a user logs into the system. EUC devices can either be provided by the enterprise or bring-your-own-device (BYOD) owned by employees or other users. EUC provides support for a broad range of client devices including traditional PC, tablet, smartphone, or thin-client terminal device. End User Computing (EUC) encompasses user access to enterprise applications and data anywhere, anytime, using one or more devices to access virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) located either at the enterprise’s premises or in the public cloud. ![]()
