HyperFlex VDI

Stay safe and productive when working remotely with Cisco solutions

As more staff are working remotely, Cisco recognised the pressure this has put on customer IT resources and employees. Supporting the increase in remote workers while minimising disruption may require the addition or rapid expansion of existing infrastructure. To help, Cisco has released special HyperFlex (HX) pre-configured virtual desktop infrastrucute (VDI) bundles.

Advantages of VDI

With VDI, data and application processes taking place centrally within the multi-cloud data centre, this has certain advantages over other remote-access solutions.

Additionaly, organisations will benefit from deploying VDI as part of an end-to-end cloud, web, and mobile application strategy that is optimised for digital workflows.

Data security

Even when the user's machine is compromised

Less bandwidth

Ideal for when sharing larger files or performing updates

Operational efficiency

Less troubleshooting of individual desktops

Better performance

Ideal for graphics-intensive applications

Cost savings

On user devices and thin clients
