In terms of security, while the endpoint is now more secure, the threat still exists – it just moves to the data center or the cloud, where, in essence, a fat Windows desktop is running. Further, the user experience and latency are far from ideal, and offline work is impossible. By limiting endpoint operations to that of a thin client, and only connecting them to this infrastructure, the list of potential attack vectors narrows and becomes very secure.īut using VDI/DaaS for the entire organization becomes very expensive if massive numbers of users need remote access simultaneously.
