A virtual desktop infrastructure system includes a switch matrix and an end user device including a memory with instructions that when executed cause the system to initialize and configure the end-user device, establish a tunnel via the switch matrix, perform dependency verification, enforce a policy rule, and cause the end-user device to access the virtual desktop infrastructure via the tunnel. A method includes initializing and configuring the end-user device, establishing a tunnel via the switch matrix, performing dependency verification, enforcing a policy rule, and causing the end-user device to access the virtual desktop infrastructure via the tunnel. A non-transitory computer readable medium includes program instructions that when executed, cause a computer to initialize and configure the end-user device, establish a tunnel via the switch matrix, perform dependency verification, enforce a policy rule, and cause the end-user device to access the virtual desktop infrastructure via the tunnel.
