It runs on servers in a data center and delivers individual desktop instances to each user. On the other hand, VM is a software emulation of a computer system that allows multiple operating systems or applications to run on one physical machine. One key difference between VM and VDI is the level of isolation they provide. With VDI, each user gets their own isolated desktop environment with dedicated resources. This ensures better security and performance for individual users. In contrast, VMs share hardware resources among multiple virtual machines which can lead to potential resource contention issues. Another difference lies in scalability. VDI offer...
