Virtual Desktop
Virtual desktops are essentially hosted VMs that a client connects to for OS access. The clients are typically not very resource-equipped and are referred to as “thin clients.” A thin client would connect to a server or provider, which then hosts the Virtual Machines and streams the data back to the thin client over the network. The virtual machines are hosted by the server’s Hypervisor and uses the server’s resources to handle all the necessary processing, memory, and storage.
