The Hidden Costs of Recurring
Windows Upgrade

The Real Impact of “Just Upgrading”

  • Legacy apps needing remediation — or replacement
  • New hardware requirements that stretch budgets and derail sustainability goals
  • Long hours spent on deployment and end-user training
  • IT team strain and business disruptions
  • The start of yet another 3–5 year upgrade cycle

What Today’s Enterprises Really Want

  • Avoid full-scale hardware refreshes
  • Run critical legacy apps without rewriting them
  • Minimise downtime and user retraining e
  • Keep data secure across all user environments
  • Reduce CAPEX, and enable flexible OPEX models
  • Support sustainability goals by reducing e-waste

ROI that Makes Business Sense

Let’s consider a mid-sized organisation with 2,000 users. Here's a breakdown of the 8‑Year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), in ₹ Crores:

VDI (₹ Cr)

Total TCO

19.05
% Savings**
46.73%

**Net Power Savings: ₹6.56 Cr (Desktop Power) – ₹1.04 Cr (VDI Power) = ₹5.52 Cr

But in the financial model, additional indirect savings are factored in:

  • Reduced HVAC load in offices due to lower device heat
  • More centralized power efficiency in data centres
  • Improved server density and energy management

→ That pushes the Net Power Savings up to ₹8.06 Cr

Thus effectively, the main factors impacting the TCO positively in favour of VDI include:

  1. Net Power Savings in VDI compared to Desktops
  2. Savings on Desktop refresh cycle at the end of 5 years since the VDI infra can be used for minimum 8 years and
  3. even extendable to 10 years in some cases, before it needs HW refresh.

VDI gives very high returns over a longer tenure.
