Give your team a secure, high‑performance desktop from anywhere—without the hardware hassles.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a technology that hosts desktop operating systems and applications on centralized servers instead of individual physical computers. Instead of running Windows or macOS directly on a laptop or desktop, your operating system runs on powerful servers in a secure data center. Users access their virtual desktop remotely through any device—laptop, tablet, smartphone, or thin client.
Think of VDI like having your office computer available anywhere you have internet access. The computer itself (the virtual machine) lives securely in a data center. You just connect to it remotely and see your familiar desktop, applications, and files exactly as you left them.
This architecture provides significant advantages over traditional desktop deployments. Data stays in the data center, not on individual devices. IT teams can manage, update, and secure hundreds or thousands of desktops from a single console. Users get consistent performance and access from any device, anywhere.
VDI uses a connection broker to manage user sessions. When you log in, the broker identifies you and connects you to your assigned virtual desktop. The virtual desktop runs on a hypervisor-managed server with allocated CPU, memory, and storage resources. Your local device (laptop, tablet, etc.) acts as a display terminal, showing the screen content and sending your keyboard and mouse inputs back to the virtual desktop.
Modern VDI protocols are highly optimized. They only transmit screen updates (pixel changes) and user inputs, not the entire desktop environment. This means you get responsive performance even over modest internet connections. Video, graphics, and animations are compressed and streamed efficiently, making VDI suitable for even graphics-intensive applications.

Data never leaves the secure data center. Centralized security policies, encryption, and access controls protect sensitive information better than traditional desktops.
Provision new user desktops in minutes instead of days. New employees get immediate access to all applications and data they need to be productive.
Employees access their work desktop from any device, anywhere. No more syncing files between devices or waiting for laptop repairs. Work seamlessly from home, office, or client sites.
Automated backups protect virtual desktops. Disaster recovery becomes simpler with central storage. Restore individual desktops or entire environments quickly.
Meet HIPAA, FINRA, SOX, and CMMC requirements with centralized data control, audit logging, and security policies. Easier compliance audits and reporting.
VDI provides security advantages that traditional desktops cannot match.
Require multiple verification methods before granting access. Prevents unauthorized access even if credentials are compromised.
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Even if intercepted, information remains protected.
Isolate virtual desktop networks from other systems. Limit the attack surface and contain potential breaches.
Control who can access what applications and data. Role-based permissions ensure users only see what they need.
Track every action taken within virtual desktops. Complete audit trails for compliance and security investigations.
Regular automated backups ensure data is never lost. Quick recovery from ransomware or hardware failures.
Virtual desktops solve specific challenges across various industries.
Secure access to patient records from any device. HIPAA compliance built-in with audit trails.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a technology that hosts desktop operating systems and applications on central servers instead of individual devices. Users access their virtual desktops remotely from any device, including laptops, tablets, or thin clients. VDI provides a consistent, secure desktop experience regardless of the physical device being used.
Traditional desktops run operating systems and applications locally on each physical device. VDI centralizes everything on servers, allowing users to access their desktop environment remotely. This provides better security (data never leaves the server), easier management (updates and patches from one location), and more flexibility (access from any device).
There are three primary deployment models: Cloud VDI (fully hosted in the cloud), On-Premises VDI (hosted on your own servers), and Hybrid VDI (combination of both). The best model depends on your security requirements, compliance needs, budget, and existing infrastructure.
Yes, VDI can be more secure than traditional desktops because data never leaves the central server. Data stays in secure data centers with enterprise-grade security, encryption, and access controls. This makes VDI ideal for healthcare (HIPAA), legal (attorney-client privilege), and financial services (FINRA, SOX) compliance.
Most VDI solutions work well with 5-10 Mbps per user for standard office applications. High-performance graphics or video editing may require 15-25 Mbps. Modern VDI protocols are optimized to reduce bandwidth usage and work well even with modest connections.
Standard VDI requires an internet connection because the desktop runs on remote servers. However, some VDI solutions offer offline modes or local caching for frequently used files. For users who need offline access, we can discuss hybrid approaches or application streaming solutions.
VDI costs vary based on deployment model, user count, and requirements. Cloud VDI typically ranges from $25-75 per user per month. On-premises VDI requires upfront infrastructure investment but may have lower long-term costs for larger deployments. We provide detailed cost analysis as part of our assessment process.
Most Windows applications work seamlessly with VDI. Graphics-intensive applications like CAD software, video editing, or 3D modeling may require GPU-enabled virtual desktops. Legacy applications and specialized industry software typically work well. We test all your critical applications during the assessment phase.
Implementation typically takes 6-12 weeks from assessment to full deployment. A pilot with a small user group usually takes 2-4 weeks, followed by phased rollout. Timeline depends on the complexity of your environment, number of users, and customization requirements.
Existing desktops can be repurposed as thin clients to access virtual desktops, extending their useful life. They can also continue running local applications while new users get virtual desktops. We help you develop a migration strategy that minimizes disruption and maximizes value from existing hardware.
