Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is one of the largest workloads running on top of vSphere. VDI can account for 10-30% of the overall data center and server virtualization infrastructure managed by an organization. VDI is a tough and unique workload and has driven enormous innovation in the data center, including SSD and data de-duplication technologies.
Even though many new VDI use cases have been deployed in the cloud in the last few years, most of VDI is still deployed on-premises. Almost 90% of VDI is still deployed on a vSphere/ESX stack.
Increasingly Broadcom customers are facing steep price increases for their ESX/vSphere solution. How do Broadcom price increases affect a customers’ VDI deployment? Specially because these price increases are on top of the price increases at the legacy VDI vendors?
Customers have 5 choices, in addition to remaining on their existing solution stack:
- Stay on-premises on Broadcom, but replace VDI solution
- Stay on-premises, replace Broadcom, but retain VDI solution
- Stay on-premises, but replace both Broadcom and VDI solution
- Move the entire VDI stack to the cloud and replace both on-premises Broadcom and VDI solution
- Leverage an enterprise browser and replace both Broadcom and VDI
The table below summarizes the replacement options for the above choices.
