VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)
Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) allows students and instructors to access the same computer from any other computer in the world. This virtual system has all the functionality of a standard campus desktop build. With the VDI, you log in to one of a group of virtual machines, all of which have an identical set of installed software depending on your access, and are assigned the first available virtual machine.
In order to use the VMWare Horizon Client, you will need to connect to the Missouri S&T VPN.
IMPORTANT: Do not save files/work to the 'C: Drive' on VDI Horizon machines. Always use and save files to your 'S: Drive' or removable storage to save files.
