VDI in healthcare can be quite a challenge. There are numerous advantages to VDI over traditional desktops inside both ambulatory and bedside environments. One very encouraging benefit of VDI in the healthcare field is the fact that VDI often allows a healthcare group to realign IT spending to partially fund the migration to virtual desktops.
Desktop encryption software is a great example of this. With VDI nothing is stored at the endpoint, meaning that there is no need to purchase and maintain desktop encryption software.
