Some organizations are setting up a VDI project plan to deliver apps to end users - apps that require a special thick client (a networked computer system with most resources installed locally, rather than distributed over a network), have special licensing or are too heavyweight to install on every workstation.

Becoming more responsive by leveraging VDI to quickly add server and client resources as needed - and remove them when they’re unnecessary.Controlling software costs closely by purchasing and distributing licenses only to active end users.Reducing the burden of buying, managing and supporting desktop computers by replacing them with thin clients or mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.Improving accessibility and security at the same time by completely isolating apps from end-user mobile devices and desktops, while still allowing users to easily connect to those apps.It seems counterintuitive: Why would you dramatically increase your servers and give every user another layer? Well, because deploying VDI comes with huge benefits, such as: All you need to join is that thin client software. The real app client is running in a virtual server in a data center somewhere, not in front of the user.

With VDI, thin client software (a device that runs from resources stored on a central server instead of a localized hard drive) that’s running on a laptop, desktop or mobile device becomes a window into an app client, web browser or desktop OS. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is rooted in an idea from the beginning of computing: green screen terminals talking to apps.
