2. The Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
 Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is the practice of hosting a desktop
operating system within a virtual machine (VM) running on a hosted,
centralized, or remote server.
 This allows users to roam and utilize various convenient client
machines to access their desktop environment.
 It also enables them to quickly move from one device to another with
simple session disconnects/reconnects, instead of going through
extensive and time consuming, complete log-off/log-on processes.

3. The VDI Printing Problem
 The use of VDI technology greatly enhances
user productivity, however, there is a limitation
with VDI.
 Because of host application limitations, nearby
printers are not available to the user when at a
remote workstation.
 To print a document to a nearby printer users
would, in fact, have go through the extensive
login process VDI helps them avoid. This is
time consuming and unproductive.
