  2. Centralized Management Anywhere, Any Device VDI helps deliver on this promise. Windows Server 2012 provides a scalable, easy to manage, and high fidelity VDI solution. Data Security BYOD

  3. VDI with Windows Server 2012 Powered by Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services Corporate Office Desktop Sessions Pooled VMs Personal VMs Branch Office FIREWALL Home 1 platform | 1 experience | 3 deployment choices Library / Coffee house • Efficient Management • Best Value for VDI • Rich Experience everywhere

  4. Efficient management • Simple to deploy, intuitive to manage, easy to expand at scale Easy Deployment • Set up a simple VDI deployment easily and quickly • Wizard-based setup and deployment for multiple scenarios • Automatic creation of VM with settings Unified Administration • One, integrated console for roles, servers, collections, users, and VMs • Consistent publishing apps and desktops • Automate and manage at scale with Powershell Streamlined VM Management • Master images for personal and pooled VMs • Avoid patch storms by queuing maintenance updates • Streamlined VM mgmt: Fast sysprep, optimized logon, auto rollback

  5. Getting started with RDS

  6. Best Value for VDI • Key Platform Capabilities User Disks Storage • User disk enables personalization on pooled VMs or sessions. • User data and settings are stored on a separate vhd. • Simplifies deployment of lower cost VDI (pooled VMs / Sessions) • Direct Attached Storage, Network Attached Storage, and Clustered/SAN Storage • Configuration options to optimize for tiered storage • Reduce storage cost while maximizing IOPS A B C Fair Share • Fairshare ensures high performance across all user VMs / Sessions • Dynamically distributes resources (bandwidth, CPU and I/O) • Applicable to both Sessions and VMs D E F Highly Available • Active/Active Broker • Scale-out File Server, HyperV Clustering • Up to 32 nodes and 4000 VMs per cluster with Hyper-V • Increase density further by using RDSH (>2X compared to VMs).

  7. Feature Drilldown

  8. Detail: Remote Desktop Services Components • Component Architecture Virtual Desktop Collection Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Server Manager Remote Desktop Connection Broker Remote Desktop Web Access SQL Database Session Collection Remote Desktop Session Host Remote Desktop Gateway Remote Desktop Licensing

  9. Detail: Personal vs. Pooled VMs

  10. Detail: Personalization with User Profile Disk Benefits: • Available with Pooled VM collections and RDSH collections • Stores all user settings and data • Container for: • Roaming User Profile • Folder Redirection cache • User Environment Virt. • Roams with user within collection • Appears as local disk, improves app compat What should I deploy? • User Profile Disk with every VM Pool and RDSH Collection • UEV to roam settings across collections • FR to roam user data across collections • FR to centralize user data backup User Profile Disk with Pooled VM collections User Profile Disk with RDSH collections

  11. Detail: Storage Options HyperV Cluster RDVH RDVH RDVH RDVH New in WS2012: • Storage Spaces • SMB3, HyperV SMB support • Cluster Storage Volume • Scale-out File Server  We support it all! VDI Storage Configuration: • Direct Attached, Central SMB, or Central CSV / SAN • Storage location of User Profile Disks, Parent VHD, & VMs can be configured separately for each collection • Optimum use of high IOPS vs. high volume storage RDVH RDVH RDVH RDVH SMB3 SOFS Cluster File Server File Server File Server File Server //CSV1/ Parent //CSV2/VMs //CSV3 /UserDsk Spaces JBOD JBOD JBOD SSD 15K 10K SSD 15K 10K SSD 15K 10K SSD 15K 10K An example configuration

  12. Detail: High Availability Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Web Farm New in WS2012: Active/Active HA mode for Broker • Scale out and resiliency • Requires SQL Server • Automatic data migration from single instance to HA Remote Desktop Connection Broker Remote Desktop Connection Broker Remote Desktop Connection Broker Remote Desktop Connection Broker HyperV Cluster Remote Desktop Web Access Remote Desktop Web Access Remote Desktop Web Access SQL Cluster Database Remote Desktop Session Host Remote Desktop Session Host Remote Desktop Session Host Remote Desktop Gateway Remote Desktop Gateway Remote Desktop Gateway Remote Desktop Licensing Remote Desktop Licensing Remote Desktop Licensing Web Farm RDSH Farm Cluster

  13. Detail: GPU Choices • CPU-Emulated DirectX 11 software GPU provides 3D capabilities to sessions and VMs at high scale • Optimized for knowledge worker workloads, such as Office, Web Browsing • Highest scale for Session Host and VDI • RemoteFXvGPU provides a virtualized hardware-accelerated DirectX 11 GPU for VDI, optimized for • Best performance for 3D graphics-intensive applications • Best experience with full shading, animations and transitions • Best application compatibility, running as a console session in VM Note: The RemoteFXvGPU requires a DX11 compatible GPU to be installed in the host.

  14. Rich Experience Everywhere • RemoteFX delivers a consistently rich user experience to users over LAN or WAN (irrespective of deployment model) RemoteFX Corporate LAN Hardware and Software GPUs Rich multimedia USB Redirection Multi Touch WAN acceleration Internet or WAN Single Sign On

  15. End User Experience

  16. Detail: Tuning RemoteFX • By default, RemoteFX balances bandwidth and scale to give best UX • Group policies help customize deployments differently • Optimize only for scale or only for bandwidth • Adjust visual quality of images, e.g. lossless mode for workloads with pixel perfect need • Enforce choice of transport – UDP / TCP • New performance counters to monitor and troubleshoot bandwidth and UX

  17. Recap: Choosing the right VDI architecture Good Sessions Pooled VMs Personal VMs Better Best Personalization App Compatibility Image Management Cost Effectiveness * When choosing a VDI architecture customers also need to consider the appropriate access device

  18. Comparing and Reducing VDI Costs Management Costs Compute Costs SAN Storage Costs DAS Storage Costs With App-V, Storage for apps Server infrastructure Management effort Storage for OS images Images to manage Each Image = OS+App+User Data Each user has a personal image • + App-V Reduce costs across all deployment types using Windows 8 and DAS (DAS is ~25% the cost of SAN) Costs • Personal VMs • Sessions + • User Disk + App-V • Pooled VMs + • User Disk + • App-V

  19. Remote Desktop Services Summary • SimplifiedManagement • Best VDI Platform • Value • Rich Experience • Everywhere • Single management UI for Simplified • Scenario and advanced administration • Active/Active Connection Brokering • Powershell administration across RDS • Reduced number of roles to manage Support WAN Adaptive Encoding Multi-Touch USB remoting for Sessions, VM’s, Physical Simplified user discovery and SSO RDWeb Folders and file type association Easily extended by partners & customers • Increase use cases for pooled desktops • Cheaper storage alternatives • Simplified VM creation, assignment, and patching • Fair share: network, disk I/O, and processor • GPU optional, synthetic GPU supplied • Full partner extensible platform
