VDI Zungang

All employees of the University of Kassel have access to a standard desktop pool on which basic applications are available.

If you would like to find out more about what else is available within the VDI, or are unsure whether the VDI is suitable for your particular project, please contact the IT Service (ITS).

Once you have successfully logged in, an overview of the available applications and virtual desktops appears. These are available to you depending on your access authorizations. The view may therefore vary.

You have the option of making settings on the display for each pool separately and then connecting to it.
