Answer: VDI and thin clients Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a technology that refers to the use of virtual machines to provide and manage virtual desktops. VDI hosts desktop environments on a centralized server and deploys them to end-users on request. VDI can be used to provide the desktop experience. The computing hardware for VDI can be split into thin clients and thick clients: - Thin clients are simple computers that can be accessed through a remote connection to a central server which provides the client all of its resources. Thin clients do not have hard drives so data isn't stored locally, and applications would also need to be accessed through a server. Thin clients would work for this scenario since data can't be stored in the conference rooms and thin clients cant store data anyway. - Thick clients are fully functional networked computers that have their OS, local storage, and handles their own processing. Just think company-provided desktop computers or laptops. They can connect to a server if they want, but can work independently as well. Since files can be stored locally on a thick client, they wouldn't work with the requirements of the scenario.

VDI and thin clients.

A thin client is a computer with enough resources to boot and connect to a server to run specific applications or desktops. When the thin client is a traditional computer, it typically has a keyboard, mouse, and screen and may support other peripherals such as speakers and USB ports. The server is a powerful server located on-site or in the cloud, supporting multiple thin clients. A virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) hosts a user’s desktop operating system on a server. While traditional computers typically access VDIs within a network, it’s also possible to deploy a VDI that users can access with their mobile device. This allows users to access any applications installed on their desktop. When the organization hosts a remote access solution such as a virtual private network (VPN), users can access the mobile VDI from anywhere if they have Internet access

As I read this question, doing the same thing at my workplace some months ago, played back in my mind... you deploy Thin Clients and VDI (we have both VMWare and Hyper-V).

We are working with sensitive data, and in all other questions, DLP was the most important, why not now? Private cloud also means noone other than the presenter can have access to it.

VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) and thin clients provide an effective solution for meeting the requirement. With VDI, sensitive data can be stored in a centralized and secure data center rather than being physically stored in the conference rooms. Thin clients are lightweight devices that connect to virtual desktops hosted on servers in the data center. When users access the virtual desktops via thin clients in the conference rooms, they are essentially viewing a display of the desktop environment, and no data is stored locally on the thin clients themselves. This approach ensures that sensitive data remains secure in the data center, and it reduces the risk of data exposure or loss if a thin client is stolen or compromised. Additionally, VDI allows for easy management and control of the desktop environment, enabling the security architect to enforce security policies and access controls effectively.

This is how we do this exact thing at my job, thin client & vdi.

I had no idea Thick Client was a real term!! I thought it was a joke

Nac should've been an answer

as for display, it should not be necessary to store data. using thin client + VDI would be the best, and easy to restore to default settings

Agree with B

Dear lord, I wonder who writes some of these questions. This one is worded so poorly it nearly gave me an aneurysm. I'll go with the majority - B.

Thin client so it doesn't store data, VDI so it has access to the material on display.
