What is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure(VDI)?
VDI is the practice of hosting a desktop operating system within a virtual machine running on a centralized server.
You interact with a virtual desktop in the same way you would use a physical desktop.
Why need to virtualize your desktop?
Desktop virtualization System- also called as client virtualization system, is a concept of separates a PC desktop environment (Operating System & Applications) from a physical machine using a client–server model of computing. The solutions is to allow traditional Operating System & Application into an On Demand Service so that it’s available to any user at any devices.
Benifits:
1, Make the user experience more consistent for remote or mobile users, regardless of geographic location or the type of device accessing the systems.
2, Improve overall Security – Keep control of desktops and user data through locked-down virtual machines. Protect Company resources from data leakage and various threats. Machines infected with viruses and spyware can be rebuilt instead of cleaned. Systems can be maintained safely in an offline mode for forensic investigations, or to preserve evidence as needed.
3, Increase system Availability – Virtual desktops can be quickly provisioned, and offline copies of desktops can be kept current and backed up for quick recovery in the event of a disaster. Further, virtual desktop systems can take advantage of the high availability functions that come with server virtualization.
4, Improve desktop Recovery – Build Windows desktop systems that can be run on many types of hardware/operating systems including “thin clients”, Linux systems, Mac PCs, tablets, and even smart phones. Desktop recovery can be made much faster by reducing hardware setup time. IT staff can repair or replace desktops on the fly, thus improving user uptime.
5, Reduce IT administrative costs by reducing time spent visiting branches to deploy desktop hardware. VMware provides better management tools to support users across the Bank network.
It is estimated that companies spend $3 managing desktops for every $1 spent on desktop hardware.
Virtual desktop technology can help reduce TCO.
6, Virtual desktop systems can be patched or updated with new OS or application software en masse. And, if a problem is discovered with the new OS or desktop environment, users can be quickly rolled back (individually or in groups) to the previous version of the desktop.
7, Save money by extending the useful life of existing hardware, or reduce capital expenditures by purchasing hardware that costs less. Virtual desktop machines require less processing capacity because the processing is done at the server.
Benefit of VDI : Information Security
VDI separate Data from terminal to help Organizations storing Data at the centralized management and in controlled environment.
Benefit of VDI: Easy & Efficient Management
Administrator struggle to deploy desktop control policies as desktops are scattered across organization.
Benefit of VDI - Flexible Upgrade
Hardware resources can be dynamically added to cope up with the change of requirement.
