Digital Capabilities
Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is the creation and management of desktop environments and applications that allow employees to work and access applications and services outside the office, in the office, or from a remote location. Moreover, Since VDI makes virtual desktops easy to deploy and update from a centralized location, an increasing number of companies are implementing it for remote workers. Furthermore, VDI is an ideal solution for environments that allow or require employees to use their own devices. Since processing is done on a centralized server, VDI allows the use of a wider range of devices. It also offers better security, since data lives on the server and is not retained on the end client device. In addition, VDI uses server hardware to run desktop operating systems (OS) like Windows or Linux, or other software programs, on a VM with the desktop OS hosted on a centralized server in a physical datacenter.
