Desktop virtualization is a software technology that separates the desktop environment and associated application software from the physical client device that is used to access it.

Desktop virtualization can be used in conjunction with application virtualization and user profile management systems, now termed “user virtualization”, to provide a comprehensive desktop environment management system. In this mode, all the components of the desktop are virtualized, which allows for a highly flexible and much more secure desktop delivery model. In addition, this approach supports a more complete desktop disaster recovery strategy as all components are essentially saved in the datacenter and backed up through traditional redundant maintenance systems. If a user’s device or hardware is lost, the restore is straightforward and simple, because the components will be present at login from another device. In addition, because no data are saved to the user’s device, if that device is lost, there is much less chance that any critical data can be retrieved and compromised.

Why You Need Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Benefits these companies received after deploying a virtual desktop infrastructure are:

  • Simplification of administration
  • Reduction of management chores, and operating costs without hurting the safety and maintenance of the IT systems.
  • As its name suggests, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, allows you to run desktop operating systems in virtual machines that exist on servers that are present in their data center.
  • The desktops that run inside virtual machines are termed as virtual desktops. Users using remote display protocol access their respective virtual desktops and desired applications.
  • All the installed applications are centrally managed on one cluster.
  • Users can access them from their local systems anytime.

Every controlling system is centralized and data is safe at one place. It is an out of box infrastructure solution that eradicates the risk of conventional solutions, variable performance and high cost.
