Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is the practice of hosting a desktop operating system within a virtual machine (VM) running on a hosted, centralized, or remote server.
This allows users to roam and utilize various convenient client machines to access their desktop environment.
It also enables them to quickly move from one device to another with simple session disconnects/reconnects, instead of going through extensive and time consuming, complete log-off/log-on processes.
