Remote Desktop Solutions
Remote Desktop Solutions with Microsoft
Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is an all-encompassing term for features of Microsoft Windows Server that allow users to access graphical desktops and Windows native applications remotely. Clients can access desktops and applications from various client applications, operating systems and devices, including non-Microsoft devices via the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
Remote Desktop Services supports virtualised graphics processing units (GPUs) to enable graphically intensive applications. Microsoft at this time provides Remote Desktop clients for Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, Apple iOS, Google Android and additionally HTML5-capable browsers.
Coreix can deploy single server virtualised RDS solutions or multi-server farms with distributed processing depend on your requirements. Additionally, for true enterprise solutions, the Microsoft HCI private cloud solution can incorporate Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) as part of its portfolio should you require a fully integrated solution with additional services virtualisation services.
Why Remote Desktop Solutions?
Remote Desktop Solutions:
-
Deliver solutions to devices that may not have the processing power or capacity to run the applications natively on their hardware.
-
Provide more compute resources to an application without having to upgrade user devices, thus reducing the cost of the end-user devices. In addition, this enables you to know that when users require more computing power, the computing power can be associated with the actual workloads that need it.
-
The data is stored in a secure location in a data centre environment. If the end-user device happens to fail, is lost, or is stolen, then the data remains safe and secure.
-
The configuration time is reduced for new devices since the applications or desktops are delivered from the server and not stored on the local machine. As new devices are set up, clients can just reconnect to their remote applications or desktops and commence work.
-
You can deliver Windows-based applications to iOS, Android, Windows and even thin client devices.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) utilises server hardware to run desktop operating systems and software programs on a virtual machine. VDI allows you to run traditional desktop workloads on a pool of centralised servers. The VDI solution has many advantages in particular in a business setting where keeping sensitive company applications and data in a secure data centre is critical. With these solutions, it makes it easy to accommodate a "bring your own device" (BYOD) policy without worrying about mixing personal data with corporate data.
Azure Stack HCI can offer the optimal platform for VDI solutions and lets you achieve a highly available and highly scalable architecture.
