There are some use cases for which virtual desktop infrastructure is especially handy: VDI can be used as an alternative to traditional infrastructure (where real physical desktops are used). Hence, managed service providers ( MSPs) can provide DaaS (Desktop as a Service). VDI can be deployed in a private or public cloud and considered as a type of IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a technology that allows users to host a desktop operating system (OS) on servers as well as access VM-based desktops by users remotely from different devices and locations. This blog post explores virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), use cases of VDI, and what VMware Horizon is.

Using virtualized desktops may be also a good idea in certain cases. Virtualized servers that are run on virtual machines (VMs) are widely used by companies in production environments due to their advantages such as scalability and cost-efficiency. Virtualization and cloud-based services are rapidly becoming more popular.
