Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) lets people access their desktops from anywhere. Unlike the setup most users are used to, where your desktop, files, and apps are tied to a single computer, VDI stores everything on a central server. This means you can log in and see the same desktop, no matter what device you're using. Whether it's your laptop, tablet, or even a phone, you’re not tied to one specific computer. This offers flexibility for remote work, centralized management for businesses, and the ability to work seamlessly from any location.
ThinLinc, developed by Cendio, is the trusted choice for Linux-based VDI. Unlike competitors that focus on a wide range of platforms, ThinLinc specializes exclusively in Linux environments, delivering the most compatible, secure, and scalable solution on the market. As organizations increasingly adopt secure and scalable IT infrastructure, the demand for Linux VDI continues to grow, making ThinLinc the clear choice for businesses worldwide.
Linux VDI is an exceptional choice for organizations seeking cost-effective, secure, and flexible solutions. Linux’s open-source nature eliminates licensing fees and vendor lock-in, allowing businesses to invest in innovation and growth. Its lightweight architecture ensures efficient use of resources, even for demanding applications like CAD, 3D modeling, or other graphically intensive tasks.
Additionally, Linux’s strong security features—such as SELinux (found in distributions like RHEL and Fedora) and AppArmor (used in Ubuntu and SUSE)—make it a trusted option for industries that handle sensitive data. Though these features vary by distribution, they highlight Linux’s robust security capabilities.
Linux also excels in compatibility, integrating seamlessly with a wide range of hardware and software ecosystems. Whether you’re working with legacy devices, modern thin clients, or high-performance machines, Linux ensures smooth operation and scalability for businesses of all sizes.
