The most obvious reasons to choose a cloud solution are flexibility and cost. As mentioned above, a cloud workstation has no fixed physical element so you can access it and work from any device, anywhere. Furthermore, as it is a subscription service there is no upfront outlay, so it would be classed as operating expenditure or OPEX, rather than capital expenditure or CAPEX, usually associated with one-time major, long term expenses. Furthermore, the flexibility of a cloud platform allows it to be scaled up or down as demand and workloads change.
