What is the purpose of the VDI Remote Virtual Desktop Model?

The purpose of the VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) Remote Virtual Desktop Model is to keep all resources on a central server. In a VDI environment, desktop sessions are hosted on centralized virtual machines located in a data center, allowing users to access their desktops remotely through various devices.

This centralization enhances security, as sensitive data and applications are not stored on individual endpoints, reducing the risk of data breaches. It also allows for easier management of updates, backups, and maintenance, as all changes can be performed in one location rather than needing to be applied across numerous individual devices.

The other options do not align with the primary functionality of VDI. The distribution of processing to individual end-user devices is more characteristic of a local desktop computing model rather than a centralized VDI approach. Copying desktop images to a local machine for use suggests a different technology altogether, such as local desktop virtualization, while allowing offline access to remote applications generally relates to Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or similar technologies that are distinct from the primary purpose of VDI.
