Server virtualization has gained significant popularity among organizations to consolidate servers, however, desktop virtualization aid in reducing the complexity associated with deployment and maintenance of devices, which helps IT departments to reduce desktop maintenance cost. Due to various advantages such as cost saving, simplified management, security, flexibility, and increased productivity have led to increasing adoption of desktop application market globally. Trend of bring-your-own devices (BYOD) is a major factor for growth of the market. Employee satisfaction and retention, increased productivity, and cost saving are some of the advantages leading to demand for BYOD in various organizations. Furthermore, it aids in saving cost for enterprises, as employees utilize their own device and data, which reduces the organizations’ IT maintenance and purchasing expenses.
