How long should a virtual desktop infrastructure solution deployment take?
Most in-house VDI architectures can take anywhere from four to 12 months to assess, analyze, architect and deploy. A good portion of this time is spent assessing the existing desktop environment and designing a suitable VDI replacement. A pilot implementation will usually last two to six months to ensure the design goals can be met in a full-scale implementation. VDI solutions from a solution provider bring the benefit of turn-key solutions where resources can be allocated on-demand in most cases. This can significantly reduce the implementation time to as little as several weeks for a pilot project.
