You might also hear this model being referred to as the hosted virtual desktop ( HVD) model. Users then connect remotely to their virtual desktop machine over the LAN/WAN/Internet from their chosen endpoint device and from any location. In the context of a VMware Horizon View VDI solution, this refers to a model whereby the desktop operating system is running as a virtual machine hosted on a hypervisor, which is VMware vSphere (ESXi and vCenter) in this case, and running on the server infrastructure located centrally somewhere in a data center. The term VDI was actually adopted by VMware and has become the accepted definition for this technology. For example, in some cases, the term VDI is used when, in fact, the solution is just delivering applications. As we touched on at the start of this chapter, there are different definitions for the solutions that fall under the heading of VDI, depending on the vendor you are working with.
