6 Questions To Ask Before Selecting a VDI Solution Provider
Many businesses have adopted VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) technology in recent times. Virtual desktops will keep on emerging rapidly in the market as it offers flexibility and enables remote working without any IT hassles.
Brief about VDI VDI is a technology that offers you a virtualized environment in which you can work on a virtual desktop from any location. There are various third-party providers in the market that offer different types of VDI solutions.
Think about it
To know which one is right for you, you must ask these six questions from VDI providers, which will help you choose the right one for your business.
What level of security do they offer? It would be best to enquire whether the providers deploy security features such as multiple firewalls, multi-factor authentication, intrusion detection & prevention, end-to-end encryption, and OS patching. Moreover, the cloud servers should be safeguarded with physical security like CCTVs, flood detectors, and biometric scanning.
Do they back up the data regularly? Ask the providers whether they take a regular daily backup on the cloud and where the data centers are located. Also, ask them about their data restoration time in case of glitches or mishaps. They should be able to manage the restoration by themselves without your involvement.
What is server uptime they offer? Ask if the VDI provider offers at least an uptime of 99.999% so that you don't have to waste billable hours. As you can't just trust only what providers say about the uptime, always make sure that the uptime is mentioned in the Service Level Agreement (SLA).
What is the desktop performance? You will want no latency while accessing apps. Always ask that there should be near to zero latency while operating on hosted virtual desktops. Developers, graphic designers, etc., require high-performance computers. If your workforce is also amongst those, you should look at every technical aspect such as RAM, bandwidth, and storage.
What are the additional services they offer? One of the services you could ask is whether VDI providers give 24x7 support. Suppose they do, whether it is on multiple platforms like phone, chat, or email. You can ask if the provider offers DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service). In DRaaS, your data is replicated in multiple data centers to be restored immediately from any data center in cases of mishaps or disasters like earthquakes or floods.
Are the pricing plans they offer flexible? The provider's price offerings should always be nominal. VDI providers should offer you a pay-as-you-go model so that you don't need to invest any upfront amount. Also, see whether they offer any discounts if you are opting for extended term contracts with them. Also, ask them if the 24x7 IT support and DRaaS facility are included in the plan or not.
