What is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)? Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (or VDI) is an architectural model where a client OS runs in a server-based virtual machine environment and interacts with the user via a network connection. The storage and execution of a desktop workload (OS, apps, data) is centralized on a virtual machine in the datacenter Presentation of the UI is managed via a remote desktop protocol (such as RDP or ICA) to client devices Desktop Workload (OS, Apps, Data)
Simple Licensing for Microsoft Infrastructure and Management Desktop Delivery Remoting Technology for Delivery of VMs and Sessions Management System Center for Management of VDI Hosts Virtualization Platform
The Difference Between the VDI Standard Suite and the VDI Premium Suite VDI Desktops Only VDI + Session Based Desktops
