The global pandemic caused a rush by many organizations to adopt practices and technologies that facilitate remote work. Virtual desktop infrastructure empowers businesses with the security tools necessary to conduct operations from any location, using any device. GCSIT enables businesses across sectors to adopt secure VDI technology that keeps productivity consistently high.

So, what is VDI?

Using Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (or VDI), you can host your desktop environments on a centralized server, either on-site or in the cloud. Ultimately, end-users are given access to these virtual machines upon their request. These virtual machines can then be accessed remotely. The management software of virtual machines is used to manage and control virtual desktops. These features have made VDI technology highly popular and a better fit for many businesses than other remote desktop technology. Read on to learn more about VDI and its advantages.

What Are the Benefits of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure in Cloud Computing?

VDI offers organizations a variety of benefits, such as easy access to enterprise applications, user mobility, stronger security, and flexibility.As a result of the increasing adoption of hyper-converged infrastructures, VDI has become less expensive and more easily installed while also offering greater scalability. VDI's security is also a major benefit -- organizations don't have to worry about individual device vulnerabilities because proprietary data is not stored on the end user's devices.

How VDI Works

The following parameters are used when deploying the virtual desktop infrastructure:

• Virtual desktops reside on remote servers within virtual machines.
• Virtual desktops are powered by Microsoft Windows operating systems
• VMs exist as host-based applications, meaning multiple instances can operate on the same server within the same data center.
• To access the virtual desktop, the end-user needs to remain connected to the centralized management server.
• When every client connects successfully to the VDI environment, the connection broker finds a virtual desktop for them to connect to.
• Virtual machines (VMs) are created, created, and managed by the virtual machine monitor.

Increasingly, modern workspaces require extensive application access on-demand, especially in industries like healthcare, banking, finance, and government. VDI facilitates convenient and secure remote access, which increases employee productivity. It also ensures that employees can access their information on any device, regardless of their location, and achieve identical experiences.
