Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is generally composed of three primary components: a virtualization platform consisting of computing hardware and a hypervisor, a connection broker that connects users to virtual desktops, and a profile management solution that allows users to have their unique information persist in a virtual desktop environment.
In this paper, we will discuss how Scale Computing Platform virtualization works as part of a VDI solution and what is required from other solution vendors. This paper will also discuss alternative solutions such as remote desktop sessions and application delivery.
