VDI Security
VDI has been a staple in highly regulated industries for its ability to maintain high security levels by keeping sensitive information and data off of user endpoints. Codeanywhere embraces similar security principles but is finely tailored for software development teams. It operates effectively even in air-gapped networks, ensuring that valuable data remains secure while providing a conducive environment for development activities.
Remote Work
Like VDI, Codeanywhere facilitates remote access to a centralized virtual environment from a variety of devices. This capability has become increasingly valuable amidst the growing trend of remote work. Codeanywhere takes it a step further by offering a dedicated developer workspace platform, enabling developers to access their workspaces remotely from any device, while maintaining a centralized environment within the organization's infrastructure.
Overcome Hardware Limitations
In some cases, the developer's local hardware may not meet the requirements for the development environment, which could lead to performance issues or, in some cases, a complete inability to work on the desired project. With Codeanywhere's Remote Development Environments, the development environment can scale practically indefinitely to meet the requirements.
VDI Experience
Codeanywhere is optimized specifically for writing code, allowing developers to move IDEs, terminals, and other windows across all of their monitors, and reduce configuration drift by ensuring all team members work from the same pre-configured image, unlike VDI which is restricted to a single terminal screen.
VDI Latency
While Microsoft posits that 150ms latency is tolerable for VDI, user productivity tends to dwindle at anything beyond 10ms. Contrarily, Codeanywhere triumphs with a no latency advantage, ensuring that developers retain an uninterrupted, seamless workflow, significantly elevating productivity and overall user satisfaction. This stark contrast underscores Codeanywhere's superior performance, establishing it as a more efficient and developer-friendly alternative to traditional VDI solutions.
