What are Virtual Desktop Environments?

A virtual desktop environment, or VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), refers to a data center infrastructure within companies where complete PC desktops are virtualized. This saves system resources and centralizes a company’s data.

This means users can log in via the company network from any PC and always have the same desktop. In this way, applications from two users can never interfere with each other.
