Microsoft Remote Desktop Services
Traditional Client Computing
Use Cases for Virtual Desktops
Virtual copies of Windows provided on media such as USB / DVD
VM on portable media
IT can provide managed desktops to non-managed third party owned Windows PCs
VM on Contractor / Offshore PCs
Employees can access their personalized corporate desktop from their home Windows PC
VM on Employee owned PCs
Users can access to virtual Windows running on a server from authorized devices, including thin clients
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
Multiple users are accessing blade PC with a single copy of Windows physically installed per blade.Blade PCs
Create and store a Windows image on a storage device, such as a network server, which may be run over an internal network locally in physical or virtual operating system environments
Remote boot VM from network storage device
Why not traditional Windows?
Virtual environments and licensing
Pre-installed OSBound to hardwareNo reassignment rights
Basic Value: OEM License
Upgrade / Downgrade rights for OSAccess to Enterprise editions of OSReassignment rights after 90 days.Access to technology such as MDOP and WinFLPSupport and training from Microsoft
Added Value: Software Assurance
Ability to run Windows Client OS on serversUnrestricted movement of VMs across hardware platforms
What Virtualization Demands: Licensing Flexibility
Valu
e
Flexibility
Limitations of traditional Windows licensing for virtual environments
Move VMs across servers in case of server downtime
Load balance VMs across multiple servers
Create desktops dynamically from golden images
Dynamically adjust the number of VMs in your environment
Product support for the different components of the complex VDI infrastructure
OEM licenses bound to hardware
Retail licenses can be reassigned only after 90 days
OEM and retail licenses cannot be dynamically assigned
