<h1>Virtualization</h1>

When we talk about virtualization, we speak about different technologies better known as hypervisors (Vmware, Hyper-V, etc..).
Their main function is to "extract" the hardware available at the host machine by simulating resources that can be used by virtual operating systems.

<h1>VDI - Virtual Desktop Infrastructure</h1>

Once we have the ability to simulate hardware resources, becomes interesting to be able to create VMs that really simulate our **personal computer**.
A VDI is the implementation of a system that allows the management and control of virtual machines, aimed at replacing physical desktop stations with **thin clients**

It seems a computer but is really only a stupid hardware allowed to connect on VDI Servers, so you don't need hardware to buy because it's all stored on the VDI Server Infrastructure.

<h1>The choice of the producer</h1>


the largest manufacturing companies of VDI are:

- **CITRIX** (Citrix XenDesktop)
- **VMWARE** (Vmware Horizon View)


<h4>What do they really do?</h4>

- secure remote access with better performance and a better user experience

- allow users to remotely log in without having to download anything on devices

- reduces costs by keeping the infrastructure always up-to-date

- simplify endpoint management

- standardize a heterogeneous environment

- access anywhere

- offer high-performance virtualized graphics workstations
