There are categories of VDI deployments known as “persistent deployments” and “nonpersistent deployments.” Persistent VDI refers to VDI configurations that preserve end user settings and files each time the user logs out or shuts down their PC. Businesses can be up and running faster, and they spend less on maintenance and overhead. Microsoft also hosts the infrastructure for Windows Virtual Desktop, so businesses don’t need to invest in or manage server infrastructure to support the solution. Accordingly, the end user device for a Windows Virtual Desktop setup may offer a full PC or laptop experience with more-robust specifications, including a faster processor, Wi-Fi, and integrated graphics. Windows Virtual Desktop provides a full Windows 10 experience with Microsoft 365 apps, enabling more variety in productivity or interactivity compared to traditional VDI with stationary thin clients. A key example of this is Windows Virtual Desktop, which Microsoft supports through the Azure cloud service. However, as the VDI model is evolving, new configurations are exploring the potential for supporting VDI over the cloud to PCs and rich end clients outside the corporate firewall. Usually, the endpoints in a VDI configuration will be thin clients, which are PCs with an ultralightweight configuration: just enough processor speed and RAM to perform a few functions, built for a closed corporate LAN network. End users will then individually connect to the server and access a virtualized desktop environment through their client PC.
System administrators use an RPC orchestrator on the server to configure the virtualized desktop environments, select which apps are available, and establish settings and permissions for the operating system (OS).
The server uses remote procedure call (RPC), a series of functions that facilitate communication to and from end clients. In a VDI configuration, a central server hosts the entirety of the virtual desktop, including OS and apps.
