What respondents had to say…

There are more reasons too which you can read in our report today. We reached out to a variety of participants representing a wide range of industries and job roles related to procurement, IT, engineering, and more. This was all part of a mission to broaden our knowledge of virtualization practices and experiences, and offer a starting point for those just beginning their exploration of hybrid and multicloud deployments.

Respondents from our survey felt there was great value in multicloud and hybrid strategies. The benefits are clear - greater flexibility and agility in IT infrastructure. That’s why we were so excited last year to support these types of deployments via Teradici Cloud Access Software. It enables staff within organizations to securely access virtual desktops from any public cloud, on-premises data center, or combination of the two.
