You can eliminate multiple administrative functions associated with managing desktops, such as provisioning, deploying, maintaining and recycling.&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Minimize hardware.</b> Smart cloud workspaces require less hardware (desktops, laptops, etc.) to manage, and there’s no need for complex virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployments.</li> <li><b>Reduce costs.</b> You can switch from a capital expense (capex) to an operating expense (opex) model, gaining on-demand access to cloud desktops with compute, memory and storage resources.</li> <li><b>Protect your information.</b> Each user can access encrypted, persistent storage volumes in the cloud.
