RDS Deployment Scenarios

Remote Access Desktop Replacement App Consolidation Branch Office Partner Access

So what is VDI?
VMs on Hyper-V running desktop OS users access via RDS
Windows Server 2008 R2 RDS has specific enhancements to facilitate VDI

Why?
Basically another way to deliver RDS Multiple OS instances (1 per user) instead of one shared instance per server Solves issues that may exist with traditional shared server solutions

RDS Deployment Options

Customers will mix & match options

RD Session Host (aka TS)
Low cost image

Pooled Virtual Desktop

Medium cost image management Easier admin management than Personal

Personal Virtual Desktop

High cost image management Administrator access (user can install programs) High Resource cost Compatibility for legacy apps

management
Easiest admin management Least resources required Good compatibility for legacy apps

Less Resources than personal Better compatibility for legacy apps

RDS New and Improved

Unified Admin and User experience for
RD Session Host (1 session per user) RD Virtualization Host (1 VM w/desktop OS per user)

Single Image

RD Virt Host
Pooled VMs Personal VMs

Two options for VM-based desktops

Pooled virtual desktop Permanent virtual desktop

Richer remoting experience (multi-mon, multi-media, bi-directional audio, rich graphics) Better App Compat thru AppV for RDS Scalable VM management thru SCVMM Improvements in RD Session Host

Sessions with Server OS (Session-per-user)

VMs with Client OS (VM-per-user)

RD Virt Host and AppV Better Together

Problem
Badly written Apps store user state outside user profile Reduce cost of App deployment/management

Solution
AppV redirects user state to User Profile

AppV - Streaming makes it easier to centrally deploy and update applications AppV Silo reduces test effort AppV User based app assignment, Silo reduces app conflicts and can allow multiple versions of apps to be deployment.

Support multi-workload (role based assignment of apps )

RD Virt Host and SCVMM Better Together

Problem Solution

Scalable approach to create Guest OS in VM

SCVMMs VM creation is Template based, ICs auto-installed, Scriptable.

Track and manage large number of VMs

SCVMM VM library

VDI Summary
Personal and Pooled Virtual Desktops
Permanent VM per user assignment through Active Directory Temporary VM per user assignment on RD Connection Broker

Centralized Management of RemoteApp and Desktop Connections

Centrally managed list of applications and desktops (RDS & VDI) Automatically published, refreshed & integrated with Windows 7

RDS and VDI An Integrated Solution

Single broker to connect users to sessions or virtual machines, out of the box solution for VDI scenarios with Hyper-V Unified user connection experience

Connection Broker Extensibility

Orchestration plug-ins e.g. VM preparation, VM placement Policy plug-ins e.g. load balancing, security etc
