- 7. VDI: What VDI is? •Centralizes the storage, execution, and management of Windows desktops Key deployment scenarios of VDI are persistent virtual machines and pooled virtual machines • Stores and maintains the user work area in the data center • Enables technologies such as Hyper-V and Remote Desktop Services
- 8. Key Benefits ofVDI • Improved access to data and applications from any device • Improved data security and compliance • Simplified management and deployment of applications • Improved business continuity • Integrated management of physical, virtual, and session-based desktops • Centralized data storage and backup
- 9. Types of VDI Pooledvirtual desktops Personal virtual desktops Each virtual machine is like a traditional personal computer, where user data, settings, applications, and operating systems are stored, and each user is assigned a personal virtual desktop. Identically configured virtual machines are in the pool and users can connect to any virtual machine. After users log off, all changes are discarded, so user data must be stored outside the virtual machine.
- 10. VDI Components inWindows Server 2012 R2 • Active Directory • Remote Desktop Web Access • Remote Desktop Connection Broker • Remote Desktop Virtualization Host • Remote Desktop Session Host • Remote Desktop Gateway
- 11. RD Connection Brokerin VDI Deployments Brokering involves: • Identifying a virtual machine for the user • Preparing the virtual machine for remote connection • Sending virtual machine details to a session host server • Monitoring user sessions in a virtual desktop pool scenario RD Connection Broker enables user connections to connect to an appropriate endpoint
- 12. Configuring Virtual Machines Supportedoperating systems: • Windows 7 • Windows 8/8.1 Configuring virtual machines for virtual desktops: • Joins virtual machines to the domain • Configures the Remote Desktop functionality by: • Enabling RDP and RPC for RDS • Adding VDI users to Remote Desktop Users group • Configuring Windows Firewall

- 15. What Is ApplicationVirtualization? Benefits of application virtualization are: Centralized management Scalable infrastructure Accessible applications Remote Desktop Server support Reduced license compliance risks Usage reporting Application virtualization allows you to run applications on client computers as if they were installed locally
- 16. Access anywhere Over theweb Portable devices Just in time deployment (Click-to-Run) Installer does not run Instant gratification Simple servicing Update once, deliver everywhere Users automatically stay up to date Run applications as a “service”
- 17. No changes tosystem Safely run apps side-by-side No OS decay over time Lower migration costs State separation Store App state separate from OS state State categorized as user versus system User state stored in profile, roams with profile Run applications without conflicts

- 19. Advantages: Centralized application management Supportfor roaming users and making applications available quickly Can run multiple versions of Office on the desktop Previously incompatible applications can run on the same desktop Centralized image simplifies updates, management & helpdesk Limitations: Requires a supporting infrastructure and resources Consider network bandwidth availability for streaming applications Integration into existing infrastructure, such as the patch management process Use Microsoft Application Virtualization to stream applications on-demand
- 20. What Is App-VDesktop Client? Application Virtualization Management Server Application Virtualization Desktop Client Network • Requests applications to be streamed • Receives the application code • Sets up the runtime environment • Executes the code locally

In Microsoft ApplicationVirtualization (App-V) 5.0 the Client supports using a shared read-only cache Shared read-only cache enables the Client to use disk space efficiently in a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) system You can deploy the App-V Client in a VDI scenario by using a shared read-only cache that has been populated with all the applications required for all users. App-V 5.0 Shared Cache for VDI environments

- 25. What Is RDS? RDSis presentation virtualization technology that provides access to session-based desktops, virtual machine–based desktops, and applications RDS provides the following benefits: Run an application or an entire desktop on centralized servers Manage session-based desktops, applications, or virtual machine– based desktops on centralized servers Provide an entire desktop, or just application window Provide integration of local and RemoteApp programs Enable secure remote access without establishing a VPN connection Centrally control which RD Session hosts can be accessed, who can access them, and device redirection

- 31. What Are RemoteAppPrograms? A RemoteApp program: • Can be accessed remotely through Remote Desktop Connection • Displays on the client as if it is running on the local computer • Can run along with local programs on the client computer • Has its own resizable window and entry on the taskbar • Can share a RD session with another RemoteApp program on the same terminal server RemoteApp programs run remotely on RD Session Host server and can integrate with locally running programs
- 32. What Is RemoteAppand Desktop Connections? Provides a personalized view of RemoteApp programs, session-based desktops, and virtual desktops The benefits of RemoteApp and Desktop Connections are: • RemoteApp programs run from the Start menu on the client • Includes published Remote Desktops and Virtual Desktops • Changes are automatically reflected on the user’s Start menu • Programs are easily accessed through Windows search • Does not require domain membership • Built on standard technologies • You can create a RemoteApp and Desktop Connections configuration file (.wcx) and distribute it to users
