RemoteFX

In RDS in Windows Server 2012, Microsoft has waived the requirement of having a physical graphics processing unit installed on the client device; instead, you can use the RemoteFX technology. RemoteFX can support graphics-intensive apps, such as CAD/CAM design programs, on thin-client devices. Now, the thin client no longer needs a physical GPU to run such applications. Also, the RemoteFX technology now encompasses much more functionality than in Windows Server 2008 R2 and enhancements to existing functionality, such as: Adaptive graphics. We support a mix-and-match approach, determining and using the right codec for the right content instead of one size fits all. We included codecs that are optimized for multimedia, images, and text. We improved caching and added progressive rendering. Progressive rendering enables RemoteFX to provide a responsive experience over a highly constrained network. Intelligent transports. We support User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and TCP. UDP provides a better experience over a lossy WAN network but is not always possible, dependent on the routers and firewalls involved. RDP will automatically use TCP when UDP cannot be used to ensure connectivity and the best possible experience. Optimized media streaming. We utilize a new codec to reduce bandwidth consumption for media content (in some cases, a 90 precent bandwidth reduction) while also providing a great end-user media experience.

Module 2: End User Experience. Adaptive network auto-detect. In this release, the end user no longer has to set the network in the RD Connection client; the client auto-detects the network type and also adapts as the network changes. DirectX 11 support with vGPU. In Windows Server 2012, the vGPU feature is expanded, and all Windows 8 VMs can take advantage of a DirectX 11capable GPU, either emulated in software (softGPU) when no GPU is present in the host or para-virtualized and hardwareaccelerated (vGPU) when a DirectX 11compatible video card is present in the host. Single sign-on. In Windows Server 2008 R2, it was possible to configure an RDS deployment so that users needed to enter their credentials only once when connecting to RemoteApps and hosted desktops. However, this configuration was very cumbersome. In Windows Server 2012, we dramatically simplified this by eliminating the need to use multiple certificates. We also made it possible to use locally logged-on domain credentials so that users connecting from managed devices can connect seamlessly without any credential prompts. Email and web discovery of remote applications and desktops. Users now can find the correct remote workspace to connect to by just providing their email address. This removes the requirement to remember a long website URL. In addition, RD Web Access now supports other browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Multi touch. We support full remoting of gestures (such as pinch and zoom) between the client and host with up to 256 touch points. This provides for a consistent experience when using a touch-enabled device locally or over RemoteFX. As more apps are written supporting touch as the primary interface, this will become more important. USB redirection. In Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, we supported USB isochronous remoting only for vGPU-enabled VMs. We have added support when using sessions and physical hosts, which provides a consistent experience independent of physical, session, or VM-based host. Metro-style Remote Desktop. In the app store, we have added a new Metro-style application available in Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 to provide an immersive touchfirst remoting experience. Discoverability of remote resources, touch optimization, and easy reconnect to your favorites are just some of the specific features added.

Note: You can configure RemoteFX through Group Policy Objects (GPOs).

Best Value for VDI

Typically, in pooled or session-based VM deployments, personal settings are temporarily stored in a transient virtual hard disk (VHD) that is discarded when the user logs off. This means that after each session, user personalization settings and application cache data are lost. As a result, applications like Microsoft Outlook must recreate personalized settings each time a user logs on to the VM or session, which increases the time it takes for the user to be productive with the application. Windows Server 2012 introduces User Disk to store user profile settings in pooled or session-based VM environments. Any user state changes are stored in the User Disk, and these changes are immediately available to users the next time they log on. Fair Share ensures that no single VM or session monopolizes machine resources, thereby providing high system performance. Hyper-V provides an enterprise-grade hypervisor platform that has been designed to host large VDI deployments. RDS now supports various lower-cost storage, such as SMB-based file shares or DAS; hence, storing VMs is now cheaper, because you do not have to rely on expensive SANs. The RD Connection Broker can be clustered in an active/active configuration to improve deployment scalability and uptime. Microsoft Virtual Academy Student Manual 6
