Desktop Virtualization Enables new scenarios

Microsoft Remote Desktop Services

Traditional Client Computing

Use Cases for Virtual Desktops

Virtual copies of Windows provided on media such as USB / DVD

VM on portable media

IT can provide managed desktops to non-managed third party owned Windows PCs

VM on Contractor / Offshore PCs

Employees can access their personalized corporate desktop from their home Windows PC

VM on Employee owned PCs

Users can access to virtual Windows running on a server from authorized devices, including thin clients

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

Multiple users are accessing blade PC with a single copy of Windows physically installed per blade.Blade PCs

Create and store a Windows image on a storage device, such as a network server, which may be run over an internal network locally in physical or virtual operating system environments

Remote boot VM from network storage device

Why not traditional Windows?

Virtual environments and licensing

Pre-installed OSBound to hardwareNo reassignment rights

Basic Value: OEM License

Upgrade / Downgrade rights for OSAccess to Enterprise editions of OSReassignment rights after 90 days.Access to technology such as MDOP and WinFLPSupport and training from Microsoft

Added Value: Software Assurance

Ability to run Windows Client OS on serversUnrestricted movement of VMs across hardware platforms

What Virtualization Demands: Licensing Flexibility

Valu

e

Flexibility

Limitations of traditional Windows licensing for virtual environments

Move VMs across servers in case of server downtime

Load balance VMs across multiple servers

Create desktops dynamically from golden images

Dynamically adjust the number of VMs in your environment

Product support for the different components of the complex VDI infrastructure

OEM licenses bound to hardware

Retail licenses can be reassigned only after 90 days

OEM and retail licenses cannot be dynamically assigned

OEM and retail licenses do not include any product support from Microsoft.
