Client Based Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V)
Server Based Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
Remote Desktop Services (formerly Terminal Services)
Internet Explorer 6 in XP
Internet Explorer 7 in Vista
When using VPC’s, users typically manage two desktops (host and the guest operating system)

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (or VDI) is an architectural model where a client OS runs in a server-based virtual machine environment and interacts with the user via a
network connection.
VDI benefits non-mobile workers with sophisticated IT
in highly regulated industries
Personalized desktops at shared terminals
Work from home and approved offsite locations without the need to purchase laptops
Quicker recovery from device malfunctions
Centralized data storage and backup reduces losses from stolen devices
10
Centralized Management
Flexibility of access Business Continuity
Reduced IT travel to user workstations for support
Improved desktop lifecycle management through quick access to centralized desktops.
Small Scale Deployment: Microsoft only
Large Scale Deployment: Microsoft+Partner Technology
Citrix XenDesktop or Quest vWorkspace
Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) -> License to access Windows OS
Hyper-V 2008 R2 -> Server Virtualization to host the VM’s
SCVMM 2008 R2 -> VM Provisioning

Partner Connection Broker Checklist
VDI Platform: Server and
Management Technology
MDOP, SCCM CML and RDS CAL*
Access Points (PC, Thin clients)
Enterprise Value Add: Partner Technology
Partners add value to the Microsoft VDI Solution
*If you already have Windows SA on your devices, then you don’t have to pay for the VDA license. Note: Non-windows devices are not covered by Windows SA such as iPAD and Android devices.
*RDS CAL is only required if you will also be using XenApp component of XenDesktop
Microsoft recommends that you consider partner solutions when you have enhanced needs of scale, (such as multiple site requirements), manageability (which could support advanced provisioning scenarios) or user experience enhancement such USB and Flash remoting.
VDI is just one of many tools to virtualize your desktop
Desktop Virtualization = VDI
VDI will save money immediately
All users will benefit from VDI
VDI is the future of the desktop
Hardware Costs
Storage
Redundant Links Software costs is only about 1/3 of the total cost.
Consider other solutions for centralized management. Remember VDI is just one of the many solutions to achieve this.
Windows Remote Desktop Services (formerly Terminal Services)
App-V+SCCM. Both works on physical and virtual desktops
VDI is expensive and it will not reduce TCO.
Consider using Remote App: Server Role in Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2
Also provides Seamless User Experience
Compared to VDI, the hardware requirements are not as high.
It is basically the same Terminal Services technology (RDP)
Partner Solution: consider XenApp.
Common requirement for VDI = Centralized Management
There are existing technologies already that are much cheaper than VDI
Combine System Center, App-V and Folder Redirection…and of course a good standard desktop policy.
Use MED-V for App-to-OS compat issues. MED-V is part of MDOP.
Upsides for VDI:
VDI offers better user operating system isolation VDI has better native application compatibility VDI allows users to be admins of their own images App-V complements VDI
Upsides for Session Virtualization: Session Virtualization requires less hardware than VDI Sessions are cheaper than VDI desktops Server management is less than VDI Can also use App-V
Remote Desktop Services enables both session virtualization and VDI!
Improves Application Compatibility
•prevents one app conflicting with another
•Prevents one app conflicting with other instances of itself
•Fixes many issues where app wouldn’t run as standard user
Enables Consolidation of Session Hosts
•No longer any need for silos of session hosts
•Allows session hosts to be homogenous
Improves user profiles
•Application settings can be stored to network location / roamed independently
• Increases usefulness of mandatory profiles
