About the Event
This webinar, hosted by Venn on October 22, 2026, focuses on the operational and security factors driving organisations to reconsider their Virtual Desktop Infrastructure investments. The session features real-world perspectives from IT and security leaders who have replaced VDI with Blue Border, alongside a live product demonstration.
VDI Limitations in Modern Work Environments
Traditional VDI deployments were designed for a different era of workforce management. The webinar examines how these platforms struggle to accommodate distributed teams, flexible work arrangements and the integration of newer productivity tools. Specific pain points include the complexity and expense of maintaining virtual desktop environments, suboptimal user experience and difficulties supporting emerging workflow requirements.
Blue Border as a VDI Alternative
Venn’s Blue Border technology takes a different approach to securing corporate data and applications. Rather than requiring full endpoint management or virtualised desktops, Blue Border aims to secure company resources on any device. The webinar will demonstrate how this works in practice and discuss the transition process for organisations moving from platforms such as Citrix, Azure Virtual Desktop or Horizon.
Who Should Attend
The session is intended for IT, infrastructure and security leaders in organisations with remote or hybrid workforces. Those approaching VDI or DaaS contract renewals, or evaluating whether to continue with existing virtual desktop investments, will find the content most relevant. The webinar specifically addresses the concerns of decision-makers responsible for balancing security requirements, compliance obligations and workforce flexibility.
