VDI or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure refers to the process of running a user desktop inside a virtual machine that lives on a server in the datacenter. It’s a powerful form of desktop virtualization because it enables fully personalized desktops for each user with all the security and simplicity of centralized management.
It’s important to understand, however, that VDI is only one form of desktop virtualization. Most companies have a broad diversity of users, including task workers, power users, guest workers, contractors, and mobile employees.
While VDI works great for some of these use cases, it’s entirely unsuitable for others. That’s why we designed our revolutionary new Citrix® XenDesktop™ product line to address the full range of desktop virtualization technologies.
With XenDesktop, customers no longer have to bet on one narrow form of desktop virtualization. One product enables them to deliver the right type of virtual desktop for every user, every time. |
