Developing a Desktop-as-a-Service solution for the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) model
The aim of this dissertation would be to investigate and adopt a cloud-based solution for on-premises virtual desktop infrastructure. By creating architectural changes to accommodate the new solution in an efficient manner.
Main research questions:
When should the company consider moving to a cloud-based VDI solution?
What are the factors that influence the decision to move to a cloud-based VDI solution, such as cost, performance, security, and scalability?
What are the potential benefits and drawbacks of a cloud-based VDI solution compared to an on-premises solution, and how do they vary based on the company’s specific needs and requirements?
Which DaaS provider is currently the best on the market and why?
What are the key features and capabilities of different DaaS providers, and how do they compare to each other?
What are the pricing models and service-level agreements (SLAs) offered by different DaaS providers, and how do they vary based on the company’s specific needs and requirements?
How would the company go around adopting DaaS, given its VDI architecture?
What are the architectural changes that need to be made to the company’s VDI infrastructure to adopt DaaS, and how can they be implemented efficiently and effectively?
What are the best practices for migrating from an on-premises VDI solution to a cloud-based DaaS solution, and how can potential risks and challenges be mitigated?
How much would it cost the company to make the transition and how would it affect the performance of the system? What are the cost factors associated with the adoption of DaaS, such as licensing, infrastructure, and operational costs?
What are the potential performance implications of moving to a cloud-based DaaS solution, such as latency, bandwidth, and data transfer speeds, and how can they be addressed?
