Virtual Desktop Infrastructures
More flexible IT infrastructures with the cloud
High performance, maximum flexibility and greater cost efficiency: Virtual desktop infrastructures open up numerous possibilities for your company to a create a high-performance and secure working environment. IT-HAUS helps you to optimize IT systems and processes in your company with tailor-made VDI solutions.
Simply virtual:
Bring more efficiency to your IT environment
It is impossible to imagine the world of work today without a PC. However, working from home, cloud computing and mobile working are increasingly leading to higher costs for companies: More end devices, higher demands on their security and growing costs for the necessary hardware. Against this backdrop, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) offers more than just an alternative - it is an elegant solution with many possibilities.
More flexible working environments with VDI
BYOD with VDI
VDI makes it possible to implement bring-your-own-device (BYOD) strategies - with maximum security.
This means: more freedom in the choice of end devices, greater consideration of individual needs and lower expenditure on the purchase of devices. With the help of VDI, private end devices can be securely integrated into a company's IT infrastructure.
Persistent and non-persistent VDI
Persistent or non-persistent? Both modes are possible when running VDI, and both have their respective strengths:
Persistent VDI virtualizes the entire desktop, so to speak. A user always connects to the same virtual desktop and can personalize it - just like a physical desktop.
Non-persistent VDI is a "simpler" and more cost-effective option, as individual applications are virtualized for specific tasks. This solution is suitable wherever a customized desktop is less important than the required applications.
When working environments become more complex
From a company's perspective, a key issue in today's working world is striking the right balance between broad distribution and centralization. While traditional workplace situations are increasingly disappearing in many sectors, the challenges with regard to centralized administration and standardized processes are growing.
Cloud usage and hybrid IT infrastructures mean more widely scattered data storage locations. An increasing number of (mobile) end devices in more different locations also increase the pressure on necessary security precautions and uninterrupted operation.
This applies in particular to the increasing number of home office workstations, which represents a major challenge, at least in terms of securing the company network. It must be ensured that unauthorized access to internal applications from outside is not possible.
More cost efficiency -
with VDI strategies from IT-HAUS
In addition, conventional working environments are cost-intensive: in addition to the acquisition costs for end devices and client hardware, defects, failures or the replacement of end devices also cause costs. In fact, device administration accounts for most of the expenditure. More complex end devices increase the cost of maintenance and servicing and tie up human and financial resources.
The situation is different in a VDI environment: the devices are less complex, so fewer defects occur - and operation is significantly simplified. This also applies to device replacement. In this case, all data and applications do not have to be transferred to a new client first - they are "ready for collection" on the server. This reduces downtimes to a minimum so that value-adding activities can be resumed immediately.
In a dynamic working world in which the demands on workplaces and business models are constantly changing at high speed, the IT infrastructure is a major task for companies.
VDI provides you with effective solutions for these and future challenges: Create the conditions for central data backup, flexible and mobile working and greater security.
Virtualize - and optimize - IT infrastructure
Switching to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure has a number of advantages. This applies above all to the costs for the IT infrastructure and easier access to applications and files. This is because VDI enables practical remote access - in principle from anywhere in the world. At the same time, less hardware is required because key elements of the infrastructure are virtualized.
Cost savings
Of course, VDI also includes various end devices that are essential for day-to-day business. However, the virtual desktop infrastructure works without the usual "fat clients": these are the conventional desktops, each equipped with its own hardware (CPU, RAM, hard disk, etc.).
Instead, so-called "thin clients" are used. This is no longer a stand-alone device. Instead, this type of client relies on a connection to the central network, which is used to provide applications, for example.
Because the hardware costs are significantly lower, you reduce your costs with VDI.
Remote Desktop
A key advantage of VDI is the ability to allow remote access to the workplace. This is not only a basic requirement for mobile working, but also for employees working from home.
In conjunction with thin clients, it is also easier for users to have access to their profiles on the available devices at all times. With appropriate access methods (MFA, badge swiping), data protection requirements are still met. Shared desk concepts are also possible.
Remote Desktop with VDI otherwise allows the usual working methods such as mailing, web browsing, word processing, communication - but allows users more flexibility.
Adaptability
With VDI, you gain a great deal of flexibility when designing the IT environment in your company. This allows you to scale the workstations provided smoothly and seamlessly. Growing companies are therefore always well positioned.
Furthermore, new and additional applications can be easily integrated. They are provided centrally for all connected desktops.
This also means that all users experience the same user experience on the virtual desktops: Applications, operating system settings and authorizations are identical in each case. This also makes it easier to use a different client - and workflows are not disrupted.
The best VDI environment for your company
In order for you to really reap the full benefits of VDI, the virtual desktop environment must be optimally adapted to the existing IT infrastructure and the processes running in it. IT-HAUS therefore supports you every step of the way - and helps you to set up the best possible VDI environment for your company.
VDI analysis by IT-HAUS
From fat client to thin client promises reduced hardware costs. However, your data center must be able to actually make all applications available to end users. Setting up a VDI is therefore all about application compatibility.
After all, your VDI must be able to supply the virtual desktops in your company with the right applications. IT-HAUS therefore relies in a first step on a comprehensive VDI analysis. Before a migration, we record and analyze the usage behavior in the existing IT environment as well as the workplace environment with all its peripheral devices.

3D workstation environments with the right VDI strategy
3D CAD technology is an indispensable and important tool for engineers, designers and product developers.
However, the computer-aided production of 3D models is dependent on high-performance hardware.
This is particularly costly if the 3D CAD applications are to be used on the move. Mobile workstations with the corresponding performance features are a real cost factor for companies, depending on the number.
VDI strategies offer a simple and cost-effective solution for such use cases, as they enable remote CAD.
This means that 3D workstations are provided as a virtual desktop environment regardless of location. One of the advantages: There is no need to equip several workstations with the hardware that would otherwise be required (especially graphics cards).
VDI ensures the best possible utilization of otherwise cost-intensive resources for 3D CAD use - everywhere.
IT-HAUS offers you everything from the terminal server to the right hypervisor and virtual machines (VM) through to desktop applications for your virtual desktops, all the components you need for your individual VDI environment. You therefore receive a complete package perfectly tailored to your needspackage that allows you to efficiently convert your IT infrastructure to virtual workstations efficiently.
