What Is Desktop Virtualization?  

Desktop virtualization provides options for virtualizing client operating systems Desktop virtualization provides options for virtualizing client operating systems

Desktop virtualization option

Description

Client-Hosted Virtual machines run on the user desktop to provide an alternate computing environment

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Client virtual machines are hosted in the data center and accessed through remote desktop

Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization

Provides the tools to build and deploy client virtual machines to user desktops

What Is Application Virtualization?  

Application virtualization provides virtual environments for applications running on user desktopsApplication virtualization provides virtual environments for applications running on user desktops

Benefits include:

• Enables potentially incompatible applications to run on one computer • Application preparation is easier • Virtual application use is transparent to users Virtual applications are easy to deploy

What Is Presentation Virtualization?

• Presentation virtualization runs applications on centralized servers • Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services replaces Terminal Services • Presentation virtualization runs applications on centralized servers • Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services replaces Terminal Services

Benefits include:

• Centralized data • Simplified application management • Integration with application virtualization Potentially improved performance

What Is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing enables access to IT services through the InternetCloud computing enables access to IT services through the Internet

A cloud computing infrastructure includes:

• Data center with virtualization hosts • Virtual servers, storage and network resources• Highly available and high bandwidth network• Automated tools for managing virtual machines• Tools for managing online and local integration

Benefits include:

• Flexible deployment options • Scalability • Decreased cost• Improved service availability

Managing a Virtual Environment

Managing a virtual environment is different than managing a physical environment:

• Virtualized environments are dynamic• Virtualized environments may be centralized on heavily utilized physical servers• Virtual and physical computers may need to be managed with different tools Virtual environments may have increased

management complexity Virtual environments may require additional monitoring

Managing Desktop Virtualization

• Backup and restore virtual and physical computers• Host backups that backup individual or all virtual machines• Virtual machine backups for either VSS-aware or non-VSS aware virtual

machines

With desktop virtualization, you may need to:

• Update and maintain multiple desktops per user• Ensure a consistent user experience across multiple desktops• Automate the deployment of virtual desktops

• Backup and restore virtual and physical computers• Host backups that backup individual or all virtual machines• Virtual machine backups for either VSS-aware or non-VSS aware virtual

machines

To manage virtual desktops:

• Use Configuration Manager to update all desktops• Implement user state virtualization to provide a consistent work environment• Use MED-V to deploy virtual desktops• Use VDI to deploy virtual desktops with Remote Desktop Services

Managing Application Virtualization

• Backup and restore virtual and physical computers• Host backups that backup individual or all virtual machines• Virtual machine backups for either VSS-aware or non-VSS aware virtual

machines

With application virtualization, you may need to:

• Enable users to run applications in many different desktop configurations• Distribute virtual applications in multiple scenarios• Update and maintain virtual applications• Prepare virtual applications

• Backup and restore virtual and physical computers• Host backups that backup individual or all virtual machines• Virtual machine backups for either VSS-aware or non-VSS aware virtual

machines

To manage virtual applications:

• Use an App-V Management server to manage and distribute all virtual applications in your organization

• Use multiple protocols and distribution options to deploy virtual applications• Use App-V to update and redistribute virtual applications• Use App-V sequencer to prepare virtual applications

Managing Presentation Virtualization

• Backup and restore virtual and physical computers• Host backups that backup individual or all virtual machines• Virtual machine backups for either VSS-aware or non-VSS aware virtual

machines

With presentation virtualization:

• Users may be concerned about running applications hosted on a remote server• Users may need to connect to remote applications from a variety of locations • Servers may need to run multiple, potentially incompatible applications

• Backup and restore virtual and physical computers• Host backups that backup individual or all virtual machines• Virtual machine backups for either VSS-aware or non-VSS aware virtual

machines

To manage presentation virtualization:

• Use RemoteApp to publish application shortcuts • Use RD Web Access to provide access to applications on a Web site• Use RD Gateway to enable secure access to remote applications from the

Internet• Use RemoteApp and Desktop Connection to simplify access to applications for

Windows 7 clients• Integrate App-V with RDS
