Virtual Desktop Infrastructure on Cloud

VDI is a cloud computing offering that enables businesses to deliver cloud-hosted virtual desktops to any device, from anywhere. VDI solutions provide complete hosted desktops for applications and email securely delivered over the web. They’re simple to buy and easy to manage, with no software for IT to maintain.

VDI is offered as a subscription service and is multitenant in nature. The backend infrastructure, including the virtual machines that run desktop operating systems, is hosted by a third-party cloud provider. The VDI provider then streams the virtual desktops to customer’s end-user devices. Cloud Hosting providers manage the VDI deployment, as well as the maintenance, security, upgrades and storage. And the customer manages the applications and desktop images. VDI is a good choice for organizations that don’t want to invest in and manage their own on-premises infrastructure.

Apart from the mentioned values, customers can create whole virtual offices in the cloud to Work from Home, run collaborative Software development teams and much more.

DaaS is VDI, hosted in the cloud. With VDI, an organization deploys virtual desktops from its own on-premises data centers. In-house IT teams are responsible for deploying the virtual desktops as well as purchasing, managing, and upgrading the infrastructure. DaaS is essentially the same thing but the infrastructure is cloud-based. Organizations that subscribe to a DaaS offering don’t need to manage their own hardware.
