Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is the platform of choicefor building virtualization solutions for every end
customer need, including delivering individual virtualized applications, providing secure mobileand remote
desktop access,and providing end users theability to run their applications and desktops from thecloud.
RDS offers deployment flexibility,costefficiency,and extensibility—all delivered through a variety of deployment
options, including Windows Server 2016 for on-premises deployments, Microsoft Azurefor cloud deployments,
and a robustarray of partner solutions.
Depending on your environmentand preferences,you can set up the RDS solution for session-based virtualization,
as a virtual desktop infrastructure(VDI), or as a combination of thetwo:
Session-based virtualization:Leveragethecompute power of Windows Server to providea cost-effective
multi-session environment to driveyour users' everyday workloads.
VDI:Leverage Windows client to providethe high performance,app compatibility,and familiarity thatyour
users havecometo expect of their Windows desktop experience.
Within thesevirtualization environments,you haveadditional flexibility in whatyou publish to your users:
Desktops: Giveyour users a full desktop experience with a variety of applications thatyou install and manage.
Ideal for users that rely on thesecomputers as their primary workstations or thatarecoming from thin clients,
such as with MultiPointServices.
RemoteApps:Specify individual applications thatare hosted/run on thevirtualized machine butappear as if
they'rerunning on the user's desktop likelocal applications.Theapps havetheir own taskbar entry and can be
resized and moved across monitors. Ideal for deploying and managing key applications in thesecure, remote
environment whileallowing users to work from and customizetheir own desktops.
For environments wherecost-effectiveness is crucial and you want to extend the benefits of deploying full desktops
in a session-based virtualization environment,you can use MultiPointServices to deliver the bestvalue.
With these options and configurations,you havetheflexibility to deploy the desktops and applications your users
need in a remote, secure,and cost-effectivefashion.
Herearesome next steps to help you geta better understanding of RDS and even start deploying your own
environment:
Understand thesupported configurations for RDS with thevarious Windows and Windows Server versions
Plan and design an RDS environment to accommodatevarious requirements, such as high availability and
multi-factor authentication.
Review the Remote Desktop Services architecture models that work best for your desired environment.
