Desktop Virtualisation
Desktop Virtualisation offers new and powerful opportunities for IT to deliver and manage corporate desktops and to respond to various user needs in a flexible way. Virtualised desktops can be either client-hosted or centralised on servers in the data centre—often referred to as a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Client-hosted desktop virtualisation creates a separate OS environment on the desktop, allowing non-compatible legacy or line-of-business applications to operate within their native environment on top of a more current operating system, or enabling two IT environments (for example, personal and corporate) to run concurrently on the same physical device.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a desktop delivery model, which allows client desktop workloads (operating system, application, user data) to be hosted and executed on servers in the data centre. Users can communicate with their virtual desktops through a client device that supports remote desktop protocols such as RDP
VDI solutions are available from vendors such as Microsoft and VMware and can be delivered to traditional PC’s or thin clients such as Sun’s SunRay.
