Can you tell me about how long it take to &quot;download&quot; the vm for the average user?

Can you tell me about how long it take to "download" the vm for the average user?

<div>
I mean in local mode, how long does it take for the user to get a copy of their VM?

We are moving to a VWware VDI solution but the one problem I can't seem to solve is for or users who travel, with laptops, and go to locations where there is no internet access allowed.<br />
<br />
Can they download their VM to their laptop and work while on travel, then sync it when they get access again?<br />
<br />
Also, if this is possible, is it possible on a thin client laptop?<br />
<br />
Please point me to documentation that backs up your answer.

Laptops and VMware

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.

Network Security

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
