Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is a term used to describe a system that emulates the typical desktop operating environment. VDI allows an individual client to connect to a server and access applications and computing resources as needed, without purchasing and maintaining the hardware required for this set-up.

What Is VDI? VDI is a virtual desktop infrastructure. VDI is a technology that enables you to deploy desktops to user devices from virtual machines and helps to manage remote services. VDI deployments can provide all main backend virtual components including operating system, storage, hypervisors, desktop management, networking & layering.
How Does VDI Work?
What is VDI And How Does It Work
VDI deployments group all of the components needed to use desktops and applications along with networking and storage resources. Below you can learn how these components operate to enable virtual desktop functionality.
1. Operating System VDI contained self OS or a host OS. VDI uses self-contained systems, with each virtual machine (VM) or instance containing its OS copy. Self-contained OS, the system is centrally managed. Each desktop it serves can be used on a 1:1 basis, tied to a single user, or a 1:many, available to multiple users. When VMs are deployed, any necessary applications are included before the desktop is delivered.
2. Hypervisor Hypervisors are used to host and manage your virtual machines. Some VDI deployments, such as Microsoft RDS and Citrix Virtual Apps can be implemented with any hypervisor.
3. Desktop Image Management Desktop image management is designed for what desktops should contain and how they should be set up. Image management includes ensuring that images are up to date, licensed, and correctly distributed. Another feature of Desktop image management is sharing images across teams or partnerships.
4. Storage Storage assets are expected to have machine pictures and give working stockpiling to work areas. You can distribute storage with either thin or thick provisioning. Thin provisioning utilizes the base measure of storage and grows to depend on the situation. Thick provisioning saves the measure of storage possibly required.
5. Layering Layers empower IT groups to effectively oversee sets of utilizations or utilities. With layers, heads can convey work areas from a normalized base picture that incorporates functionalities coordinating with various users. Layers empower these modified work areas without requiring the making of extra pictures.
5. Networking VDI requires networking to deliver desktops to end-users. To keep data secure, you should encrypt these networks using Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols.
