# Hardware deployment Strategies
## Virtual Desktop Interface
aka 0-Clients: network hosted OS is what each client would use.
In some cases that network is a pool of servers which are tapped into.
Clients can vary in specs like explained below(context: university):
> Pool for a Library
Clients retain low hardware specs since most are just using office applications and not much else.
> Pool for an Engineering department
Clients connect to another pool where both clients and pool have better hardware specs/resources.
The downside is that there is _1 point of failure_.
The pool goes down and so does everyone else, meaning downtime is going to cost way more than a single machine going down.
