Introduction to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

Today, with the expansion of a variety of mobile devices such as tablets, mobile phones, laptops and Thin Client, and ... This requirement has been created for users of computer and mobile systems that would like to have access to their applications and data at any time, anywhere. To be Users, from ordinary and professional users, are seeking to access this information easily and with all means without losing their information. Take this example to better understand this.

I am an Alfa employee and work as an accounting officer. Now I can only connect to accounting software through the system that is in my workroom and access the information. I wish I could work with that software if I took my laptop. But the network administrator does not give me that permission, because the security of their information is compromised !!!! The virtual desktop is access to information and applications at any time, anywhere and everywhere. Look at these three words: every time! Everywhere!!!! Any means!

• I mean the device, the mobile device, not the vehicle

• The architecture of the computer systems that we are currently using is, I mean, a PC system.Retrieved from the following layers.

• A hardware layer including RAM, Hard Disk, Motherboard.

• An operating system layer that installs the operating system like Windows 8.

• A layer containing the software that is installed on the operating system.

• And a layer containing our information and settings on that system.

In fact, it is composed of 4 layers, but with the advent of virtual technology, everything has changed. Virtual Desktop is a set of technologies for providing all layers of the computer system on cyberspace, in other words, we virtualize the hardware, software, operating system and configuration layers.

This is in fact a model that is currently used by many companies, but this is an old model in the modern world, and many companies tend to use virtual desktops. This model has problems such as difficult development and complex management and low security. For example, problems such as a client's failure and the need for your presence at the site to fix minor issues or software such as Office if you need to upgrade And you want to run it on all clients, it takes a lot of bandwidth and hundreds of other small and big problems that you suffer.

Virtual Desktop A new way to solve all these problems has arisen. On the virtual operating systems of the operating system, software is configured to be virtualized so that the user does not feel that they are not on their system. Virtual Desktop is a separate process, that is, the isolation of different Windows components, which are managed individually.

In the end, I'll outline some interesting truths about using virtual desktops.

Currently, 29 percent of the world's workforce is at work at any time and place, for example, working with several devices, or at different times, or that in different places by 2017, nearly 50 percent of employees The world would like to choose their own personal device as a system for work and work. Annual data growth rate in some companies is about 20% annually, which is very high.
