The explosion of devices is eroding the standards-based approach to corporate IT.
Devices
Deploying and managing applications across platforms is difficult.
Apps
Today’s challenges

Enable your end usersAllow users to work on the devices of their choice and provide consistent access to corporate resources.
Unify your environment
Deliver a unified application and device management on-premises and in the cloud.Protect your data
Help protect corporate information and manage risk.
Management. Access. Protection.
Data
Why Microsoft VDI?
Deliver great user experience
Why Microsoft VDI?

User Profile Disk maintains user personalization in pooled deployments.Fair Share dynamically distributes bandwidth, CPU, and disk use.
Flexible storage options support direct-attached, network-attached, or storage area network (SAN) storage of virtual machines.
Easy deployment automates deploying and configuring server roles.Unified administration uses a single, integrated console for management.Streamlined management helps IT manage pooled and personal virtual machines.
Efficient Management
Solution Principles
Rich User Experience
USB redirection enables access to locally attached devices in remote desktops.
RemoteFX for wide area network (WAN) dynamically detects network conditions and tunes experience.
Seamless experience supports multitouch, new Windows Experience, and Start menu integration.
Graphics processing unit (GPU) support for both physical and software GPUs.
Best Value for VDI
Automated deployment and configuration
Admin tools integrated in server managerSession Shadowing
Efficient management with simple deployment, intuitive administration, and scalability
10
Simplifies management of pooled and personal virtual machines
Unified administration
Remote Desktop Services installation wizard
Streamlined management of virtual machines
Easy deployment with automation
Set up a simple VDI deployment easily and quickly
Use wizard-based setup and deployment for multiple scenarios
Create virtual machines automatically with settings
Unified administration that is intuitive to manage
Provide one, integrated console for roles, servers, collections, users, and virtual machines
Session Shadowing integrated with console
Automate and manage at scale with Windows PowerShell
Offer consistent publishing applications and desktops
Streamlined management of virtual machines for scalability
Use master images for personal and pooled virtual machines
Avoid patch storms by queuing maintenance updates
Accelerate system preparation, optimize logons, and provide automatic rollbacks
User Profile Disk Multiple storage options
Fair Share
Best value for VDI with key platform capabilities
Support direct attached, network, or SAN storage of virtual machines. Automatic Tiering and Deduplication
Dynamically distribute bandwidth, CPU, and disk use
Maintain user personalization in pooled deployments
High availability for all roles
User Profile Disk
Enable personalization on pooled virtual machines or sessions
Store user data and settings on a separate virtual hard disk
Simplify deployment of lower-cost VDIs (pooled virtual machines and sessions)
VDI Session Host
Personalization with User Profile Disk
User Profile Disk with pooled virtual machine collections
User Profile Disk with remote desktop session host collections
What should I deploy?User Profile DiskWith every virtual machine pool and remote desktop session host collection
User environment virtualizationTo apply roam settings across collections
Folder RedirectionTo apply roaming user data across collections To centralize user data backup
BenefitsAvailable with pooled virtual machine collections and remote desktop session host collections
Stores all user settings and data
Contains roaming user profile, Folder Redirection cache, and user environment virtualization
Roams with user within collection
Appears as a local disk and improves application compatibility
Fair Share
Helps ensure high performance across user virtual machines and sessions
Apply to both sessions and virtual machines
Dynamically distributes resources (bandwidth, CPU, and I/O)
I/O
Multiple storage options
Use direct-attached storage, network-attached storage, and clustered or SAN storage
Leverage tiered storage to automatically optimize performance
Reduce storage cost by leveraging disk deduplication
Storage optionsSample configurationWindows Server 2012
• Storage spaces
• Server Message Block 3.0 (SMB3) and Hyper-V SMB support
• Cluster storage volume
• Scale-out file server
• Online disk dedupe and tiered storageVDI storage configuration
• Direct-attached, central SMB, or central CSV / SAN
• Storage location of User Profile Disks, parent virtual hard disk, and virtual machines can be configured separately for each collection
• Optimum use of high I/O operations per second versus high volume storage
