Desktop virtualization

The term “desktop virtualization” describes the ability to display a graphical desktop from one computer system on another computer system or smart display device. This term is used to describe software such as Virtual Network Computing (VNC), thin clients such as Microsoft’s Remote Desktop and associated Terminal Server products, Linux terminal servers such as the Linux Terminal Server project, NoMachine’s NX, and even the X Window System and its XDMCP display manager protocol.
Many window managers, particularly those based on the X Window System, also provide internal support for multiple, virtual desktops that the user can switch between and use to display the output of specific applications. Scommettete.
In the X Window System, virtual desktops were introduced in versions of Tom LeStrange’s TWM window manager, but are now available in almost every other window manager. The X Window System also supports desktop virtualization at the screen or display level, enabling window managers to use a display region that is larger than the physical size of your monitor.
In my opinion, desktop virtualization is more of a bandwagon use of the term “virtualization” than an exciting example of virtualization concepts. It does indeed make the graphical console of any supported system into a logical entity that can be accessed and used on different physical computer systems, but it does so using standard client/server display software.
The remote console, the operating system it is running, and the applications you execute are actually still running on a single, specific physical machine — you ’ re just looking at them from somewhere else. Managed Virtual private server.
Calling remote display software a virtualization technology seems to me to be equivalent to considering a telescope to be a set of virtual eyeballs because you can look at something far away using one. Your mileage may vary.
