Explanation

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) hosts desktop environments centrally on servers. Administrators manage a single (or small set of) master images, and users connect to virtual desktops. This centralization dramatically reduces per-workstation manual configuration-updates, software deployments, and settings changes are applied once and propagate to all users. Authentication is still required in VDI environments. Licensing costs are not necessarily reduced (VDI often adds licensing complexity). Viruses are not automatically contained locally-VDI can actually spread malware more easily if desktops share infrastructure.
