Enter , a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) platform adopted by the University of Delaware (UDel). Known on campus as UDel Apporto , this cloud-based service allows users to access a full suite of academic software from any device with an internet connection. This article explores what UDel Apporto is, how it works, its key features, benefits, and practical tips for getting the most out of it. What is UDel Apporto? UDel Apporto is a virtual computer lab environment hosted by the University of Delaware in partnership with Apporto, a California-based VDI company. Instead of physically going to a campus computer lab (like those in Smith Hall or the Morris Library), students and faculty can log into a virtual desktop that runs on UDel’s cloud infrastructure.
