Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure VDI
Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is an alternative delivery model that allows users to access secure and centrally-managed desktops running in the datacenter.
Experience Unparalleled Benefits for Users and IT
Users can get to their desktops from any authorized connected device, improving the ability to be productive even in the case of a disaster. With Remote FX, IT can provide remote users a rich, local-like experience on their virtual desktops from a broad range of devices, including the ability to access high fidelity content such as 3D graphics, bidirectional audio and a wide range of USB peripherals. Microsoft VDI empowers enterprises with unified management of centralized desktops and corporate data through System Center technology. IT can extend existing management tools and processes to the virtual desktop environment as well, thereby reducing management overhead while still enabling rapid deployment and patching by managing images centrally. System Center Configuration Manager orchestrates rapid delivery of operating systems, applications, and software and hardware updates across physical and virtual desktop platforms, including self-service applications packaged with App-V. With security and management tools built into the Microsoft VDI platform, data on the virtual desktops is secure, thereby improving the ability for organizations to comply with even the strictest of regulations.
Reduce Costs with Innovative and Trusted Solutions
Microsoft VDI offers enterprises with tremendous value by providing a high performance virtual desktop platform while reducing the cost of deploying virtual desktops. Innovations such as Dynamic Memory in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V and Application Virtualization technology help reduce the amount of hardware required to deploy VDI. IT can also reduce training and onboarding costs, since Microsoft VDI is built on the platform and tools they are already familiar with.
