What is VDI?
10
The PC’s traditional assets of OS & Applications are moved into a virtual file called a VM (virtual machine) located on the server/storage
• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a solution for remote access to Windows XP/Vista or Linux desktops that are implemented on a virtual machine in the data center
• An emerging technology with powerful implications to today’s operating environment
• A natural extension of data center virtualization concepts and practices
• An easier way to deliver desktop experience with better management, security and boundless access
