About VDI Like a Pro
independent research organization VDI Like a Pro started the ‘state of the EUC union’ survey in 2013. The goal of the survey is to get a clear view of how EUC technologies are used in the field, how EUC adoption is changing and what to expect in the future.
Last year close to 750 respondents participated in the survey, making this initiative the largest community-powered research in the EUC market.
Topics in the survey will cover many EUC technologies including VDI, DaaS, on-premises, and public clouds, security, management solutions, devices, storage, hypervisors, GPU’s, single- and multi-user operating systems. Also, a couple of questions about key initiatives for 2021 are in the survey so overall great insights for sure!
