#Best virtualization software for windows server 2012 windows 8#
In Windows Server 2012, the vGPU feature is expanded and all Windows 8 virtual machines can take advantage of a DirectX 11 capable GPU, either emulated in software (softGPU) when no GPU is present in the host or para-virtualized and hardware-accelerated (vGPU) when a DirectX11 compatible video card is present in the host. In Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, we first introduced the RemoteFX Virtual GPU (vGPU), which provided DirectX 9 application support and Aero theming for virtual machines running on Hyper-V servers with physical GPUs. In this release, the end user no longer has to set the network in the Remote Desktop Connection client: the client auto-detects the network type and, also adapts as the network changes. We utilize a new codec to reduce bandwidth consumption for media content (in some cases a 90% bandwidth reduction) while also providing a great end user media experience.
RDP will automatically use TCP when UDP cannot be used to ensure connectivity and the best possible experience. UDP provides a better experience over a lossy WAN network but, is not always possible dependent on the routers, and firewalls involved. Progressive rendering allows RemoteFX to provide a responsive experience over a highly constrained network. We improved caching as well as added progressive rendering. We included codecs optimized for multimedia, images, and text. We support a mix and match approach, determining and using the right codec for the right content instead of one size fits all. Windows Server 2012 addresses each of these issues.įor Windows Server 2012 we have made RemoteFX dramatically better over a WAN as well as balancing between scale (host side cost) and reduced bandwidth.
Session and virtual machine infrastructures were complicated and costly and.RemoteFX was very popular however its underlying protocol (RDP) did not provide a great experience over Wide Area Networks (WANs).In the previous release, we received consistent feedback that: This provides “work anywhere from any device” while ensuring that your control and compliance needs are met. The key value that RDS provides is the ability to centralize and control the applications and data that employees need to perform their job from the variety of devices that the employee uses. Following a description of RDS, I’ll summarize some of the many dramatic improvements we have made.įor those people that are not familiar with RDS, it is the workload within Windows Server that enables users to connect to virtual desktops, session-based desktops and RemoteApp programs. Klaas Langhout, a Director of Program Management in our RDS team, wrote this blog.įor Windows Server 2012 we listened to our customers and partners and added the most desired features and resolved the top pain points in Remote Desktop Services (RDS). I think you are going to enjoy what you see here. Oh yeah, it also adds a bunch of great new features. It works better across a wide range of networking configurations, it works better across a wide range of hardware devices and configurations (physical or virtual) and it works better across a wide range of administrative scenarios. Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012, is reliable across a much wider range of conditions. A lot of what Klaas describes in his blog about RDS reminds me of that definition. I hadn’t really thought about it precisely but when asked to articulate the distinction I said that robust was “reliable across a wide range of conditions”. The other day I was in a conversation where I drew the distinction between reliable and robust.
