On-premises VDI runs inside the organization's own data center and delivers virtual desktops across the local area network (LAN). Because the desktop sessions are hosted on servers that reside within the same network, normal operation does not depend on an external Internet connection. Continuous Internet connectivity is a requirement mainly for cloud-hosted VDI or DaaS solutions, where the desktops reside off-site and must traverse the Internet to reach users. While on-premises VDI does require reliable LAN connectivity, it can continue functioning even if the organization's Internet link is down.
