A financial-services firm must provide employees with secure remote access to their full Windows desktop from any location while meeting strict data-sovereignty regulations that require all customer information to stay inside the company's own data center. The IT department also wants to reuse existing low-power thin-client endpoints to reduce endpoint hardware costs.
Which of the following solutions would BEST satisfy these requirements?
Move the company's file servers to a hybrid-cloud storage model
Set up a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environment for corporate applications only
Deploy an on-premises VDI platform in the company's data center
Subscribe to a cloud-hosted Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) provider
Deploying an on-premises virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) keeps all virtual machines and data in the company's private data center, satisfying data-sovereignty rules. Because processing occurs on central servers, users can connect from inexpensive thin clients while still receiving a full-featured desktop remotely. Cloud-hosted Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) or public-cloud migrations would place regulated data in external facilities, and PaaS or a hybrid file-server project would not deliver full desktop environments.
