Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, or VDI for short, hosts desktop environments—meaning preconfigured images of an operating system and applications—on a central server and makes them available to you and your employees. The individual VDIs can be customized and scaled depending on the employee’s role or performance requirements. 

Thanks to VDI, employees can work in their familiar digital work environment regardless of location or device. Whether in the office, at home, or on the go, the VDI remains the same. Another advantage is that hardware requirements are lower, since data processing takes place in the data center rather than on the local device. Typically, a standard PC or thin client is sufficient, but working on tablets or even smartphones is also possible. Easier IT management of VDIs is another major benefit.
