During an interview for a junior desktop-support position at a large multinational company, the hiring manager says, "Many of our branch offices rely on VDI, so familiarity with it is important." Which type of technology is the manager referring to?
A monitoring suite that tracks virtual-disk utilization across storage arrays
A hypervisor platform used only for hosting virtual servers such as database VMs
An automated cloud service that deploys operating-system security patches to physical PCs
A centrally managed solution that streams virtual desktops to users over a network
The manager is referring to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, a solution in which desktop operating system images run on centralized servers (on-premises or in the cloud) and are delivered to users over the network through thin clients, browser sessions, or specialized software. Centralizing desktops simplifies patching, security, and scaling. The distractor that mentions hosting virtual servers describes server virtualization, not desktop virtualization. The remaining options describe patch-management and monitoring tools, which are unrelated to VDI.
