Empower the future of work with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS)

[MassimilianoG]

First, what is Microsoft RDS? In simple terms, it’s a feature of Windows Server^® 2019 that enables a type of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or session-based virtualization, providing a cost-effective multi-session environment for everyday workloads. A business can run an instance of Windows Server on an on-premises HPE ProLiant Gen10 server and allow remote workers to access their work applications, files, and other resources over the network from almost anywhere using just about any device. RDS has several options and configurations, giving a business the flexibility to provide work-from-home access to the resources their employees need in a secure and cost-effective fashion.

One of the most compelling benefits of Microsoft RDS is that it’s fast to set up. That’s because RDS is embedded with Windows Server 2019. A business just needs to make sure they have the correct Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licensing (RDS CALs), and they can get started with RDS right away.

In addition, it’s fast and easy for users to adopt. That’s because RDS enables workers to access applications from the devices of their choice. Plus, a business can provide access to GPUs to provide a better experience for power users. RDS also supports high availability so users can connect without interruptions.

RDS helps prevent data loss or theft by maintaining better security than ad hoc or cloud-based workarounds. It provides centralized security and control of business applications and data with powerful management tools and automation scripts.
