    AWS targets desktop virtualization rigs with lift and shift to cloudy DaaS

    Amazon Web Services is moving to bring desktop virtualization (VDI) into the age of desktop-as-a-service.

    VDI’s share of all desktops has hovered below five percent for years because the tech is not trivial to deploy: hefty servers and a well-groomed network – and often a fast SAN – are required. Some overprovisioning of that rig is all but assumed, to cope with predictable peak loads that happen when most of a workforce fires up their PC at the start of the working day. VDI also needs a client, so ironically organizations that take their desktops virtual still need to maintain end points – some of them physical PCs!

    Most VDI users are in regulated industries such as government or healthcare in which security concerns – or machines shared among many workers – make a virtual machine preferable. Little wonder that it’s mainly been the domain of hyperconverged infrastructure vendors like Dell, Lenovo, Nutanix and HPE.

    The COVID-19-induced work from home boom saw interest in VDI grow. With Microsoft counting 1.4 billion Windows 10 or 11 PCs alone, the global virtual desktop fleet probably tops 70 million machines and the number of users is likely even higher.

    VMware and Citrix dominate the VDI software market and happily run in all major clouds – but require the same kind of server and SAN setup VDI needs on-prem.

    AWS thinks some of its users now want simpler rigs. The cloud giant’s answer is to meld VMware’s Horizon VDI products with its own cloudy WorkSpaces desktop-as-a-service in an offering called “WorkSpaces Core”.

    The offering sees users retain their VMware Horizon product, but replace virtual desktops on a server with an Amazon WorkSpace desktop-as-a-service – a managed service in which AWS takes care of all the plumbing required to run and serve a virtual PC. Bye-bye back end!
