Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

　VDI is the practice(実行) of hosting a desktop operating system within a virtual machine (VM) running on a centralized server. VDI is a variation on the client/server computing model, sometimes referred to as server-based computing. The term(専門用語) was coined(造り出す) by VMware Inc.

　In the past couple of years, some large organizations have turned to VDI as an alternative to the server-based computing model used by Citrix and Microsoft Terminal Services.
