Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) streams a virtualized desktop operating system and applications to any device, over the network. Centralized, secure and instantly accessible — with nothing to install on the endpoint.
A virtualized desktop layer brings real operational advantages over managing individual machines.
Administrators manage and update every desktop environment from one place, instead of provisioning and maintaining each device by hand.
Desktops are accessed remotely and data never lives on the endpoint, reducing the risk of loss or theft if a device is misplaced or stolen.
Environments are easy to configure and monitor, helping organizations keep every desktop aligned with regulations and internal policy.
Users reach their desktop environment from any device, improving productivity and letting people work from anywhere.
VDI pairs a server infrastructure that hosts the virtual desktop environments with a client device to access them. The client can be a thin client — minimal hardware that relies on the server to do the work — or a thick client that performs some functions locally.
It can be implemented with a range of technologies including virtual machines, containers and streaming protocols. Established solutions in the space include VMware Horizon, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services.
