What is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)? Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (or VDI) is an architectural model where a client OS runs in a server-based virtual machine environment and interacts with the user via a network connection. Desktop Workload (OS, Apps, Data) The storage and execution of a desktop workload (OS, apps, data) is centralized on a virtual machine in the datacenter Presentation of the UI is managed via a remote desktop protocol (such as RDP or ICA) to client devices
