Remote Desktop Services (RDS)
This is a centralized desktop and application platform solution that uses session virtualization and VDI technologies. It offers powerful opportunities to deliver and manage corporate desktops while connecting remote workers quickly with their resources. Remote Desktop Services (RDS) in Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 helps your organization improve flexibility, compliance and data security. And it gives your IT staff the ability to manage desktops and applications.
RDS lets you run the desktop or applications in the datacenter while providing users with full fidelity desktop functionality regardless of their location. You can install and manage session-based desktops and applications or VDI desktops on centralized servers in the datacenter. With RDS, screen images are delivered to the users who send keystrokes and mouse movements back to the server. You can present users with an entire desktop environment or with the individual applications and data they require to complete their task. From a user perspective, these applications are integrated seamlessly — looking, feeling and behaving like local applications.
RDS accelerates and extends deployment of desktops and applications to a wide array of client devices helping make your organization more agile and responsive. It also allows flexible work scenarios such as hot-desking and working from home. You can keep critical intellectual property highly secure and simplify regulatory compliance by removing applications and data from the desktop.
RDS can be a cost-effective solution for any type of organization, particularly those with a mobile workforce, structured task workers, or knowledge workers with a need for flexible desktop or application access.
