MARKET OUTLOOK
According to Triton, the virtual desktop infrastructure market by the Latin America segment is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 7.72% in the forecast years between 2019 and 2027.
A virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is a system in which users can access a virtual machine-based desktop OS environment situated in a remote centralized location. Mexico, Brazil and the countries forming rest of Latin America have been profiled in the Latin America virtual desktop infrastructure market.
The virtual desktop infrastructure market in Latin America has been segmented into four categories - end users, verticals, new software licenses & support services and deployment models. By deployment type, the market can be further classified into on-premise and cloud infrastructure. On premise-based infrastructure is being extensively used in large organizations that can accommodate intensive capital for the setup of on-premise infrastructure. Rise in the adoption of cloud based virtual desktop infrastructure can be attributed to increasing adoption of cloud-based computing that can be observed from the rising data traffic on cloud.
One of the major benefits served by virtual desktop infrastructure is the reduction in the cost of IT infrastructure. The organizations across the globe are inclined towards cutting infrastructural costs, which creates a huge opportunity for market growth. Telecommuting, flexible scheduling, part-time working, freelancing and others are some of the workplace flexibility trends that are rapidly picking up pace across all grounds. Thus, the BYOD culture along with the workplace flexibility trend is tending to reduce IT infrastructure cost. With such trends, organizations themselves get a chance to cut the costs of computers, internet, electrical gadgets and others.
Lack of training and technical knowledge about operating VDI are some of the factors impeding the growth of the virtual desktop infrastructure market in Latin America. Skilled engineers, analysts & architects should come together to process the information and work on imparting knowledge concerning this technology. The scarcity of technically sound professionals in this industry impairs the growth of the market considerably. Incompatibility issues with regard to VDI may impede the growth of the virtual desktop infrastructure market over the coming years. Furthermore, deployment of virtual desktop infrastructure is expensive, due to its massive client-to-host ratios. These are some of the challenges faced by the virtual desktop infrastructure market in Latin America.
