Desktop Virtualization Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028
Global desktop virtualization market is anticipated to thrive in the forecast period 2023-2028 on a global scale due to the demand for increased worker efficiency and the improved data security provided by desktop virtualization. Additionally, the cost savings linked to desktop virtualization technologies has favourable effect on the industry's expansion. Desktop virtualization technologies' high implementation and sign-up costs, performance, and compatibility problems, however, are impeding the market's expansion. On the other hand, during the projection period, a growing market for workspace as a service is anticipated to provide lucrative prospects for the expansion of desktop virtualization companies.
Desktop virtualization is a software technology used to imitate a workstation environment and access desktop computers through a linked device that is either local to the user or located remotely. Applications like Remote Desktop Services (RDS), Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) are frequently used in it. Client software that is installed on the endpoint is typically used to access virtual desktops, allowing users to interact and enter data using a local mouse, keyboard, touchscreen, and other peripheral devices. This helps to improve both the security and effectiveness of the actions carried out while reducing the overall computing strain placed on local users. As a result, it has several uses in a variety of industries, including information technology (IT), telecommunications, education, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), and healthcare.
Increasing Need To Improve Worker Effectiveness
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a sharp increase in remote work. To ensure the employees are productive, businesses need to ensure that they have easy access to the data they need to do their jobs. This could include data on customer orders, inventory levels, and sales figures. Thus, organisations may guarantee that employees have the same computing experience everywhere and at all times by using desktop virtualizations. For instance, a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) decreases the processing load on local clients and increases overall efficiency by centrally generating, managing, and delivering its core components to each of its users through a network. Moreover, to increase the effectiveness and productivity of their employees, businesses are focused on remote working. Moreover, the cost of IT infrastructure is reduced via remote working and cloud computing. The emergence of clouds as an infrastructure has made it possible to supply computing resources quickly as a utility in a dynamically scaled and virtual way. The use of desktop virtualization is driven by an increase in cloud adoption rates and business propensity to deploy PCs in the cloud.
Desktop virtualization provides improved data security
With the increasing importance of cyber-threats and data breaches, information security is one of the top issues for businesses and organisations. For instance, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced in June 2020, the amount of data breaches and cyberattacks on federal networks during the previous two years had increased by 250%. Additionally, businesses are open to a variety of attacks, including targeted hacking, sophisticated phishing campaigns, theft of intellectual property, and infection of corporate networks with proprietary malware. Desktop virtualization solutions, on the other hand, have developed into one of the best ways to defend organisations in a better way for securing their information and controlling risk, as with desktop virtualization solutions organisations can have enterprise level security for thier employees working from home.
Trends Driving the Global Desktop Virtualization Market's Growth
Due to the unexpected rise in remote working methods, businesses must now make sure that employees have continuous access to operational data to boost productivity. A quick computing experience is ensured via desktop virtualization. Each user of a VDI receives the essential component via a network that is generated, managed, and given to it. During the projected period, this will fuel the market for desktop virtualization. Virtual desktops enable employees to access workstations from any device, boosting overall productivity. Both the computing load and efficiency, significantly improve.
The desktop virtualization industry is growing as a result of widespread usage of virtualization software, which gives IT administrators centralised security control over who has access to what data and applications. Without the need for manual uninstallation, the administrator can swiftly terminate a user's access and all of their virtual data when they leave the firm. A breach or a lost or stolen device does not pose any data risk because the data is stored in the data centre rather than on a machine.
Businesses are deploying enterprise solutions that save IT costs and aid in focusing on key business areas as a result of a competitive market environment and economic strain. Virtual desktop workspaces are replacing traditional desktop computers in a number of industrial verticals, including BFSI, law, healthcare, and manufacturing. Without the need for costly PCs and hardware upkeep, employees may work in a consistent and secure manner. In the upcoming years, this will fuel the growth of the worldwide desktop virtualization industry. Due to the fact, all applications are put in the cloud or on servers, additional costs for a variety of applications are reduced.
Moreover, each user's new desktop must be manually configured, which takes time. VDI enables IT teams to quickly deploy a virtual desktop to each user's device, allowing for seamless interaction with the operating systems and apps. They will have the same experience as if they were working nearby. This will accelerate the market for desktop virtualization in the years to come. As the entire load is shifted from endpoint devices to the centrally situated data centre.
The virtualization procedure takes a lot of time. Investments are required in the form of appropriate servers, licences, software, and infrastructure for centralised storage. If the remote end's bandwidth is insufficient, the LAN will be congested, which will result in poor display and streaming quality. The desktop virtualization market's growth prospects would be hindered by this. Additionally, only the relevant server virtualization systems can be used with desktop virtualization. This restricts consumer options because fewer operating systems can be supported.
The demand for desktop virtualization solutions is being driven by the rapid improvements in communications and IT
Market players have a significant chance to support the expansion of the desktop virtualization market throughout the forecast period by increasing expenditures to improve desktop virtualization solutions. For instance, Terradici recently declared the availability of its "Cloud Access Software," the first external solution that can be integrated with Microsoft Azure Stack. It is a virtual desktop solution. The Azure Stack Hub solution quickly and securely integrate with many advantages. Microsoft announced the global rollout of "Windows Virtual Desktop" in September 2019. This service made it easier to deliver a multi-session Windows 10 experience with simpler management and optimised support for Windows. Presently, it is a mature and widely adopted service. It is used by businesses of all sizes, from small to large enterprises. WVD is a cloud-based service that allows users to access their desktops and applications from anywhere with an internet connection. This makes it a perfect solution for remote work and hybrid work environments. Additionally, this service enables the scaling and deployment of user desktops and applications on Microsoft Azure. The high upfront expenditures and expenses related to the deployment of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), however, are impeding the market's expansion for desktop virtualization.
