Physical machines take a lot of IT resources:

• Windows Updates
• Security management and disk encryption
• Hardware failures
• Users FOMO & Asset tracking
• Cost of management software

All this on dispersed machines over a campus or, worse, remote. Those looking after physical kit know what we mean by these struggles.

• Virtual desktops can bring many benefits to this management stress:
• Cloned result (All machines are replications of your tested machine)
• Easy rollback with guaranteed results
• Data is held centrally and not on the local device
• Access from a large range of devices
• Low latency to servers
• Everyone gets the same experience
• Remote access

Overall, the key benefits to IT themselves are less stress, more proactiveness regarding the things that matter, and less time wasted dealing with hardware. For businesses, a more agile IT system meets the changing needs of IT.
