Why Developers Choose Virtual Desktops
Instant Power, Only When You Need It
No more waiting for new hardware or expensive upgrades. Spin up a high-performance dev machine in minutes for heavy builds, testing, or code sprints.
Protect Your Code—Wherever You Work
Your projects stay safe in the cloud, not on a single laptop. Even if your device is lost or stolen, your code and data remain secure, encrypted, and always available from any location.
Code Seamlessly—All Your Tools, Always Ready
Run Visual Studio Code, Docker, Git, or any IDE you need with zero slowdown. Your dev tools and projects live in a high-performance desktop you can access from any device, anytime.
Scale Up for Projects, Down for Savings
Add more power or new workstations for big projects or more team members in seconds. When things slow down, just scale back—no unused hardware, no wasted budget.
Comparison Guide: Physical Desktops vs. Virtual Desktops for Developers
High-performance computing and secure environments are crucial for developers. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) offers an innovative alternative to physical desktops, providing remote access to essential tools like IntelliJ IDEA, Docker, and Git without the need for expensive hardware investments.
Check out the table below for a side-by-side comparison of cost, scalability, and security. See how VDI enables developers to streamline coding and testing while reducing overhead and increasing flexibility.
Key Features | Physical Desktops | flexidesktop for Developers |
|---|---|---|
Iniitial Costs | High upfront costs for powerful hardware and software licenses. | Lower startup costs with a pay-as-you-go model, suited for both small and large development teams. |
Scalability | Scaling requires purchasing additional hardware and software. | Instantly add or adjust resources to support growing project demands and larger development teams. |
Data Protection | Data stored locally, increasing risks of unauthorized access and data loss. | Centralized, secure cloud storage with encryption and automated backups to protect source code and project data. |
IT Management | Requires dedicated IT for software installations, updates, and security management. | Cloud-based IT management reduces maintenance with automated updates and security compliance. |
Remote Accessibility | Limited to on-site access, making remote work and collaboration challenging. | Accessible from any device with internet, allowing remote access to development tools and collaborative environments. |
Business Resilience | Prone to hardware failures, which can delay development work and impact project deadlines. | Reliable with built-in redundancy and cloud backups, ensuring continuity and minimal downtime for development tasks. |
