Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

powered by Remote Desktop Services

Microsoft VDI allows you to set up a virtual desktop environment for session desktops, session

applications or virtual machine based desktops.

With Windows Server 2012 RC, it’s easier than ever to manage large installations of virtual machines.

RemoteFX for WAN in Remote Desktop Services ensures a

rich, responsive user experience for WAN

connections from remote offices, from home or for wireless devices.

Latency, bandwidth, and packet loss are measured at logon

and during connection to

improve user experience and reduce bandwidth costs.

• UDP Transport in addition to TCP

• Automatic detection of

network conditions

• Integrated with remote desktop gateway
