Hyper-V VDI is Microsoft’s implementation of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) where physical desktop computers are replaced with virtual desktops. Microsoft’s VDI solution leverages two different but cohesive Windows Server technologies by way of roles, working together to implement virtual desktop infrastructure. These include the Hyper-V and Remote Desktop Services roles. Hyper-V is used to provision the virtual machines that house the virtual desktop instance, and the Remote Desktop Service facilitates the connection.
