When combined with the technology VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), Hyper-V is used for client computer virtualization. |
| • | Presentation virtualization Virtualizes a processing environment and separates graphics processing and input and output, making it possible to run an application in one location and have control over their application in another. Presentation virtualization could allow the execution of a single application, submit a workstation with multiple applications. |
