Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or in short VDI is the hosting of a desktop environment on the cloud that enables businesses to deliver virtual desktops on any device & they can access it from anywhere. 

With VDI, the virtualization technology, your desktop operating system will run and be managed on the cloud data center. So, you can say, deploying VDI is like having an Office on-demand. 

How Does Virtual Desktop Infrastructure On Cloud Work?

In the VDI architecture, there are two main components of the data center- hypervisor and connection broker. 

Over a hypervisor, the desktop image of the operating system is run and delivered to end-point devices such as laptops, tablets, computers, smartphones, etc. Further, the connection broker acts as the software gateway that connects each desktop user to their individual desktop instance.

So, when it comes to implementing VDI, the below standards are followed in almost all VDI deployments.

Note: It is necessary to ensure that the end clients such as laptops, tablets, etc are constantly connected to the server that is centrally managed for maintaining access to the virtual desktops.

Advantages Of Having VDI In the Cloud:

First of all, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure supports remote access to the workers who are on the go & want to sign in to a virtual desktop containing the organization’s virtual data and apps. 

Apart from that, there are other benefits of having VDI. Such as;
