Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Market Size and Trends
The Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) market size is expected to reach US$ 16.66 Bn by 2030, from US$ 6.42 Bn in 2023, at a CAGR of 14.6% during the forecast period.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Market Trends:
- Hyperconverged Infrastructure: Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is gaining rapid traction in VDI deployments due to benefits like simplified management, enhanced scalability, and reduced costs. Vendors, such as Cisco, Dell, and HPE, offer VDI-optimized HCI for containerized app and desktop delivery. According to research, over 60% of IT leaders prefer HCI platforms for virtual desktop and app delivery. HCI-based approach is displacing traditional three-tier architecture for VDI.
- Integration with Edge Computing: VDI adoption is increasing in remote offices and branch locations to deliver consistent workspaces while reducing latency. Key providers, such as VMware and Nutanix, are integrating VDI with edge computing to allow processing user requests at edge locations rather than data centers. According to Nutanix, implementing VDI at the edge can lower latency by as much as 75%. The emergence of edge computing will enable the expansion of VDI capabilities to remote sites and IoT.
- SaaS-based Delivery Models: Leading VDI vendors are offering solutions based on a SaaS delivery model, enabling businesses to consume desktops virtually via monthly/annual subscriptions. Citrix DaaS, VMware Horizon Cloud, and other SaaS VDI solutions simplify deployments while delivering flexible pricing. The SaaS models provide vendors opportunities to attract new customers, driving market revenues.
