A positive trend in the Global Hosted Virtual Desktop market is the rapid evolution of the cloud computing and cloud-based services being adopted by enterprises across the globe. Enterprises are looking for solutions which can reduce their capital and operational expenditure and reduce their burden of infrastructure management. Cloud-based service providers are delivering the services over the internet, which is cheaper than internal provisioning of the services.

Cloud computing also supports a wider range of applications, which is another factor encouraging enterprises to procure solutions over the cloud infrastructure. One of the main factors driving the market is the increased need to reduce desktop infrastructure costs. Enterprises across the globe are witnessing increased costs associated with desktop provisioning for their employees. The procurement of operating systems and the supporting software is increasing the capital and operational expenditure associated with the systems.

Enterprises are opting for hosting their infrastructure at a centralized location from which access to the systems is provided to end-users. The report states that one of the main challenges is the need for high initial investment. . Enterprises need to procure server infrastructure, a virtualization server, and the required software and high bandwidth support for enabling hosted virtual desktop solutions. Some of the early adopters of hosted virtual desktop solutions on a trial basis are facing certain operational challenges which are preventing them from expanding their adoption.
