The MSU Virtual Desktop service gives authorized students, faculty, and staff access to licensed university software and applications through an online portal at https://vdi.msu.edu/ . The service supports all devices including Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) technology delivers a desktop image (icons, folders, toolbars, software, etc.) to an authenticated user remotely over a network. This approach allows people to interact with their desktop as if the applications and data were stored locally on their device.
