What is VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure)

It is a technology that works on hosting a virtual desktop environment on the cloud via a central server using desktop virtualization of the real computer as if you made a copy of the desktop and hosted it on the cloud via the central server and presented it to the end-user clients over the internet from any web browser, computer or tablet or smartphone device.

How does VDI work?

Through the hypervisor program, virtualization is implemented and managed so that it controls and divides computing resources between virtual machines, and its role here is to divide the central server into a group of virtual machines on which virtual desktops are hosted.

The user can access virtual desktops by accessing the virtual machine hosting the virtual computing environment, and he can do so through a gateway that acts as an intermediary between the central server and the user.

What is a Virtual Machine?

The virtual machine is created by simulating the real computer system and building a new virtual computing environment that depends on the infrastructure of the real computer. The computing power is used from the host machine, so the user of the virtual machine can use the virtual machine and perform computing functions as it is in the real computer.

It is possible to make more than one virtual machine from the same host computer, and each virtual machine is completely isolated from others. These virtual machines are managed and the infrastructure resources are divided among themselves using the hypervisor program.
