FIT4Virtualization
A new way of thinking? Although adoption of virtualization has not yet happened on a wide scale, be in no doubt that it will! There are numerous advantages in deploying virtualization technologies and it will only be a matter of time before it becomes main stream and an integral part of most IT infrastructures.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or desktop virtualization describes the process of separating a personal computer desktop (its operating system, applications, files and data) from the physical machine. The 'virtualized' desktop is stored on a remote central server located in the datacentre instead of on the hard-drive of the local PC. This means that when users work from their desktops, all of the programs, applications, processes and data used by the desktop are kept and run centrally, allowing users to remotely access their desktops on any device which is capable of displaying the desktop, such as a PC, laptop, or thin client.
With it, VDI brings numerous benefits such as; reduced hardware and support costs, lower carbon footprint, improved data security and DR/business continuity.
