Graphics-intense applications are becoming more relevant and important for many an organization. Medical diagnostics, video-editing, graphic design, geospatial analysis, web development, and computer aided designs for engineering purposes are some of the many graphic-intense applications that have become an essential part of many companies' day-to-day business operations. But providing a mobile workforce with access to graphics workstations brings along a lot a concerns and challenges.High Bandwidth RequirementsMost mechanisms which enable remote access to graphics workstations require significantly higher amounts of bandwidth.

More and more organizations are being targeted by malware and ransomware attacks. As mobile employees and third-party users take valuable corporate intellectual property outside the secure office perimeters into public domains, organizations become much more susceptible to cyberattacks and must adopt radically different mechanisms to ensure data security.Management ComplexitiesIncreased mobility also brings-in additional management complexities.
