What technology allows corporate desktops to be accessed as virtual machines from thin clients?

VPN
VDI
VPC
UEBA

The correct answer is: VDI

The correct answer is VDI, which stands for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. VDI technology enables the creation of virtual machines that run desktop environments on a server. These virtual desktops can be accessed remotely from thin clients, which are lightweight devices that rely on a central server for processing power and storage. VDI provides several advantages, including centralized management of desktop environments, easier updates and maintenance, and enhanced security through data centralization. Because the virtual desktops are hosted on a server rather than on individual machines, it allows for better resource allocation and scalability within a corporate environment. In contrast, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) primarily provides secure access to a private network over the internet, but it does not inherently create or manage virtual desktops. VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) pertains to cloud computing services that allow for isolated environments within a public cloud but is not directly related to desktop virtualization. UEBA (User and Entity Behavior Analytics) focuses on analyzing user behavior to detect anomalies and potential threats rather than providing desktop access technology.
