[gPXE] Can gPXE's network booting be classified as a VDI solution ?

[The Mad One]

Hello to everyone,

I'm working on my ACS thesis & I'm stuck on how to classify gPXE's network booting in the way it is used by a solution like DRBL (Diskless Remote Boot in Linux).

I know it's a sort of "OS streaming" solution, but can OS streaming be classified as a VDI solution ? 
[because in some manner it is virtualizing the hard drive of the desktop computer, but the OS  is running on bare metal (on that desktop computer) not in a VM]

VDI= Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

Please, help me solve this dilemma.

Thanks in advance,
TheMadOne.
