Abstract
A method for providing high availability Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) includes determining, by a VDI client and based on connection information for a first VDI broker associated with a first datacenter, whether a connection to the first VDI broker is available, and responsive to determining that the connection to the first VDI broker associated with the first datacenter is available, connecting the VDI client to a first VDI broker associated with a first datacenter. The method also includes sending authentication information pertaining to the user to the first VDI broker to authenticate the user through a domain controller, receiving, from the first VDI broker, a list of desktop pools available for one or more groups containing the user that has been authenticated with the first VDT broker, sending, to the first VDI broker, a desktop pool identifier associated with a desktop pool from the list of available desktop pools, receiving, from the first VDI broker, an address of a desktop selected from the desktop pool associated with the desktop pool identifier sent to the VDI broker, and providing the selected desktop to the user.
