Companies choose between persistent and non-persistent Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) based on their specific needs and use cases.
Persistent VDI provides each user with a personalized, dedicated virtual desktop that retains all user data, settings, and customizations between sessions. This is ideal for organizations where users require a consistent, tailored environment with access to their own files and applications. For example, a corporate environment where employees need to access their personalized email, documents, and custom business applications would benefit from persistent VDI.
Non-persistent VDI, on the other hand, offers a pooled, shared desktop environment where each session is independent and does not retain any user data or settings after the session ends. This is suitable for scenarios where users only need temporary access to specific applications or data, and where security and compliance requirements dictate that no user data should be stored on the desktop. An example use case is a call center where agents log in to perform specific tasks during their shifts, without needing to retain any personalization or data between sessions.
In the context of cloud services, Tencent Cloud offers a range of VDI solutions that cater to both persistent and non-persistent deployment models, providing flexibility and scalability to meet various business needs.
