What is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)?

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is a software tool to centrally create and manage virtual desktops. Virtual desktops are software applications that mimic real desktop computers. VDI technology creates a virtual desktop on a central server, and remote users can access this desktop from any physical machine over the internet. VDI quickly and efficiently sets up many virtual desktops to provide secure remote access to internal business applications and services. Thus, using VDI, you can cost effectively and flexibly scale up any enterprise desktop infrastructure.
