Cloud-hosted VDI can be scaled up or down almost instantly because virtual desktops are provisioned from a large pool of cloud resources. This allows organizations to handle spikes in demand-such as seasonal hiring-without purchasing additional on-premises hardware. Although management overhead is lowered, IT staff must still maintain desktop images, user policies, and application updates, so the need for IT management is not eliminated entirely. Security improvements depend on the provider's controls and customer configuration, and latency is usually higher than with on-premises deployments.
