Cloud computing technologies are delivering multiple benefits to organizations that deploy them. Among the different technologies at your disposal, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or VDI is a very potent solution for your needs.
What is VDI?
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or VDI is a cloud based technology you can use to deploy virtualized desktops and applications. In this post, we will cover some key aspects of VDI, use cases and benefits as well.
How VDI Works?
In VDI, you typically setup a large data center that has ample storage and processing power to meet your existing and near future needs. This large repository of storage and compute is then split into smaller chunks using specialized virtualization software.
Now that you have smaller segments of computing resources at your disposal, you can distribute them over a large number of users. Over these segmented portions, you create fully virtualized instances of desktop PCs that have virtualized storage, RAM and CPU.
In theory, a virtual desktop or VM functions quite similar to your physical desktop PC, with the key difference that it exists and runs over a data center. The virtual desktop and end user are physically separated, thus expanding the possible use cases.

How are Virtual Desktops Delivered?
Now that you have created fully virtualized instances of desktops over your data center, you need a mechanism that serves these VMs to prospective end users. In case the VDI is set up at a localized level, the deploying entity’s internal network performs this role.
However, in case you want to extend the delivery of your VDI solution beyond organizational borders, you need to leverage the internet. This option will then require you to adopt additional security measures to ensure security of data.
VDI and Productivity
A VDI solution is highly geared towards productivity. The same infrastructure that runs your virtual desktops can be used to deploy virtualized instances of applications as well. These productivity apps seamlessly integrate with your VMs and enhance productivity.
dinCloud Hosted Desktops
Instead of setting up a VDI solution in house, you can also utilize the infrastructure and expertise of a specialized Cloud Service Provider (CSP) like dinCloud. The premier CSP has a highly robust, secure and reliable Cloud Hosted Virtual Desktop called dinHVD.
