Virtual Desktop

The Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) gives College of Business students 24×7 access to Microsoft Windows 11 and compatible software needed for academic endeavors. College of Business students, faculty and staff can use these virtual machines from anywhere, from any computer from practically any device with a secure internet connection.  For the 2025 academic year, the previous Omnissa (formerly VMware) VDI has been replaced with Microsoft Azure.

As a College of Business student faculty or staff, the benefit is that you can access these software programs without having to purchase and install them on your personal computer. To log in you MUST have a secure internet connection – ulsecure or Eduroam if on campus ((https://louisville.edu/its/wireless/wireless)).
