Virtualisation - Desktop

Manage and Control Desktops from a Central Location

Achieve better management and control of desktops along with satisfied end users with VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). VDI enables your organisation to host desktops inside virtual machines running on centralised servers in a data center. Users can access their virtual desktops remotely from a traditional PC, thin client or repurposed computer using a remote display protocol. VDI enables you to:

• Manage desktops centrally, simplifying desktop installations, backups and maintenance.
• Control access to sensitive data and intellectual property by maintaining information in a secure data center.
• Provide individual isolated virtual desktops to end users that look and feel like their normal desktop.
• Integrate VDI seamlessly, using existing desktop management tools and with no changes to existing applications because (virtual) desktops are simply running over a remote connection.

VDI gives you the benefits of server-based computing without limitations of shared services technologies or the application integration hassles.

Manage Desktops Centrally

Manage remote PCs centrally, securely and seamlessly with no modifications to your applications using VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) -- all while delivering an end-user experience that is nearly identical to a physical PC.

With VDI, users access their complete desktop environment in a virtual machine located in a secure data center. The desktop virtual machine running on a server in the data center is an image of a complete PC - operating system, applications and configurations. The client machine used to access the virtual desktop image on the server only needs to run a remote display protocol (e.g. RDP).


Virtual Infrastructure Desktop:
With VMware Virtual Desktop infrastructure (VDI), companies can host individual desktops inside virtual machines that are running in their data center. Users access these desktops remotely from a PC or a thin client using a remote display protocol. Since applications are managed centrally at the corporate data center, organisations gain better control over their desktops. Installations, upgrades, patches and backups can be done with more confidence without user intervention.
