Session Objectives1. Learn how Microsoft-centric remote hosted

applications & desktops can be deployed / managed

2. Gain appreciation for how simple it can be to deploy a remote application or desktop solution

3. Understand common challenges, limitations, and blockers associated with a remote hosted application / desktop deployment

Session Takeaway: It’s easy to do and works well!

Windows Server includes the ability to provide • Remote Apps• Shared Desktops• VDI (pooled and dedicated)You can use a variety of clients including iOS, OS X, Android, Windows, & Windows RTPlanning and management of larger deployments requires effort

It’s REALLY easy!

Use the same Remote Desktop Deployment Wizard within the Add / Remove Features in Server Manager

• Q & A

Personal – Each user assigned specific, individualized VM (can be an Admin / install own apps)

Pooled – Group of VMs available; each VM assigned to user based on demand, user’s changes temporarily kept in Differencing Disk per VM (cannot be an Admin / cannot install own apps)

VMs for Virtual Desktop – Key Differences

Personal VMs Pooled VMs

VDI or Session Virtualization?Choose the solution that supports your objectives

Enables… Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Session Virtualization

Better user operating system (OS) isolation

Stronger native application compatibility

Full administrative rights on the remote desktop

Delivery of a single LOB application

Better scalability (user density per server)

Less hardware and server management

Lower CAPEX and OPEX per user

Granular personalization of desktop

Rich desktop experience with RemoteFX

Physical GPU support with RemoteFX vGPU

Real World – Use RDS & VDI based on needs

Remote App / RDS

Enables centralized management of common apps/desktops• Low cost / fast setup• Easiest admin management• Least resources required• Good compatibility for

legacy apps

Pooled Virtual Desktop

Enables common desktop running a Client OS• Medium cost image

management• Easier admin management

than Personal• Less Resources than

personal• Better compatibility for

Client apps

Personal Virtual Desktop

Enables User Personalization & Persistence in Client OS• Higher cost – management &

storage• Administrative rights (user

can install programs)• Higher Resource cost• Compatibility for legacy apps

Organizations Typically Mix & Match Options

Great ExperienceCrisp text always and adaptive graphics remotingQuick Session Reconnect Full multi-touch and gesture remotingRemoteApp integrate seamlessly with local desktopFull single sign-on

Client support for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, RT, iOS, Mac OS X, Android

RDP 8.1 ROCKS!
