The Nuvolus Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
The Nuvolus Floating Desktop is based on a Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) which transfers the computing power and data for an enterprise from a heterogenous set of desktop PCs to a well managed, secure cloud environment. This VDI is offered as a service which can be deployed in our private cloud computing environment or within a public cloud. A high level architectural diagram of the Nuvolus VDI is presented in Figure 1.

software As shown in Figure 1, in a VDI architecture, the desktop software environment is moved from the typical corporate desktop environment to a virtualized X86 server resiging with out cloud environment. These virtual desktop sessions are accessed remotely via a network through a remote interaction protocol (Sun's ALP/AIP). We are able to present to the client virtual desktops running Microsoft Windows XP, Open Solaris, or Linux.
