Decommissioning your VDI

What's this blog post about?

This blog discusses the shift from Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to remote browser isolation for securing internal web applications. VDI has been useful for remote work but its drawbacks, such as high costs and poor user experience, have become more apparent with the rise of web-based apps over desktop ones. Cloudflare offers practical recommendations and a phased approach to transition away from VDI, which can help organizations lower costs and improve employee experiences. The blog also highlights how modern virtual desktops are used today, the challenges associated with VDI, and how remote browser isolation can be an alternative solution for offloading VDI workloads. It provides practical recommendations for planning and executing a transition from VDI to Cloudflare Browser Isolation, including pre-implementation planning, migration phases, and progress towards Zero Trust security posture.
