Achieving Business Value through Microsoft VDI Together with Session Virtualization |
This whitepaper discusses the benefits and considerations when planning a Microsoft® Windows Server® Remote Desktop Services solution and the choices associated with a lowest cost deployment for both Session Virtualization and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).
Many businesses are considering implementing some form of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution in order to experience the benefits of deploying and managing their desktop environment centrally in the data center while providing increased flexibility for their users. However VDI is not a single solution for all your desktop computing needs and problems as some VDI vendors might suggest. Confusing the decision are customer questions around successful current usage of session virtualization, previously referred to as Terminal Services, and whether VDI would provide a cheaper and better solution. What’s important to note is that within the scope of VDI there are two deployment choices that can be made, each with different target use cases. Most scenarios for which the Virtual Desktop Pool (VDP) approach is being considered would be better served at lower cost and with less management overhead by implementing a session virtualization solution using Remote Desktop Services. Furthermore, those businesses that can benefit from implementing VDI are those for whom the Personal Virtual Desktop (PVD) approach can enhance flexibility, security and management while meeting budgetary constraints. This paper outlines Microsoft's position on how each technology—session virtualization, virtual desktop pools, or personal virtual desktops—can address specific business concerns and needs and provide customers with the best value.
