Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
Simplify your desktop management with Hyve’s fully managed virtual desktop infrastructure.
What is virtual desktop infrastructure?
Virtual desktop infrastructure enables your business to run virtual machine (VM) desktops and applications from a cloud-based cluster of servers in a data centre. The virtual desktop services are then delivered remotely as a managed service by Hyve.
VDI helps you to streamline desktop management for your business and keep configuration consistent across a large number of devices. It improves flexibility, security and reliability for your business.
Partners
We partner with industry-leading providers such as Microsoft, Citrix and VMware, for VDI services.

How does DaaS work?
- The virtual desktops live within virtual machines (VMs) running on our cloud infrastructure in a Hyve data centre.
- When a user logs in to the VDI client software on any device, a connection broker analyses and accepts the request before sending the user to their desktop.
- VDI management software is used by the administrator to manage and create desktop pools, set up policies and provision new desktops.

Cost savings
As the processing is server-based, comparatively expensive or cutting-edge hardware is not necessary. Reduce your overhead costs by allowing employees to work remotely or in virtual offices with VDI, saving on energy and hardware.
Improved security
Data is stored in tier 3 enhanced data centres, not in your office or locally on your desktop, so if anything happens to your local PC, your data is unaffected. Servers are patched frequently, eliminating any vulnerabilities and keeping your data secure.
Centralisation
VDI supports enhanced user mobility and remote access with an on-demand office environment. By implementing standardised desktop profiles connected to the same desktop, users can pick up where they left off.
Reliability
VDI runs on VMware with high availability built-in. We guarantee a 100% network and server uptime SLA for business-critical solutions such as VDI.
Support and management
You run your desktops while Hyve removes the burden of running your infrastructure. Our industry-leading UK-based support team is on hand 24/7 to assist with any issues.
Scalability and flexibility
Hyve supports your business growth. Our flexible VDI solution allows you to easily scale the number of desktops between 20 and 100,000 users.
Hyve’s Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution
VDI provides users with dedicated resources and operating systems per desktop and is built to handle multiple tasks in the same way a local desktop would.
Users have access to a desktop that can never fail as all data and files are stored on the desktop as opposed to physical hardware. Data security is also paramount because data is saved in a centralized data centre and not stored on the devices of end-users.
Citrix Virtual Desktops
Citrix Virtual Desktops (formerly Citrix XenDesktop) publishes a whole VM from a hypervisor to remote computers or devices.
Users can access Windows virtual applications and desktops through the Citrix Receiver and the virtual applications are delivered and managed via Virtual Desktops.
VMware Horizon
VMware Horizon uses the VMware vSphere environment for hosting virtual desktops and integrates fully with the rest of VMware’s product line.
VMware Horizon technology is built to allow multiple VMs to be run per physical server core. User desktops are VMs running on ESXi hosts, so vSphere features such as snapshots, vMotion, High Availability are available. All data is stored on virtualized servers that can be managed, updated and backed up centrally.
