During an interview for an IT position at a large enterprise, you are asked whether you are familiar with VDI environments. Which type of technology is the interviewer referencing?
A cloud-based service that automatically deploys security patches to endpoints
A monitoring tool for tracking the health of virtual disks
A centralized virtualization solution that delivers virtual desktops to users over a client device
A hypervisor platform used to host virtual servers such as VMware ESXi or VirtualBox
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a desktop-virtualization technology in which desktop operating systems run on centralized servers and are delivered to users over a network. Employees connect to these hosted desktops using thin clients, PCs, or other endpoint devices. VDI simplifies desktop management, enhances security, and reduces hardware costs. The option that mentions hosting virtual servers (such as VMware or VirtualBox) is incorrect because VDI specifically refers to desktops, not servers.
