Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is old, costly and clunky for a number of reasons including poor user experience, high upfront investments, ongoing operational costs, and many others of which you can read about in detail [here](https://blog.cloudflare.com/decommissioning-virtual-desktop/). We recognize and empathize with the challenges many organizations face that result in continued reliance on this approach. This reference architecture describes how Cloudflare's Zero Trust solution can help organizations secure their virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and in most cases offload it entirely. Many organizations use expensive and poor performing VDI only to provide a secure web browser to their remote users. In these cases, Cloudflare can help offload the use of VDI entirely for web-based applications or SaaS apps.

In other cases, a full virtualized desktop may be necessary for legacy apps, yet organizations still need help securing remote access to their VDI or securing the virtualized desktops themselves once users are interacting with them. This document provides a reference and guidance for using Cloudflare's Zero Trust services and is split into two main sections.

- Replacing your VDI for secure remote access to web-based applications. Accessing a full blown desktop environment to just use a web browser isn't the best experience for users. Cloudflare offers a vast improvement over remote access to web applications and can do so with greater security.

As shown we have seen several ways to incorporate Cloudflare's Zero Trust services with your existing VDI, either by replacing it completely in favor of Remote Browser Isolation technology or further securing it with our [Access](/cloudflare-one/policies/access/) or [Gateway](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/) services.
