However it would have been cheaper to use Remote Desktop session hosts instead (terminal servers). We run a Windows 10 Enterprise/ Office 365 ProPlus VDI for our branch office users which works very well. The RD Web gateway can be used for either RDSH or VDI.Īlso mobile connectivity/signal strength will affect either platform so that doesn’t come in to the equation. VDI is more expensive in licensing terms, if you just want users to access the platform via a web browser the RDS RDWeb gateway will achieve this. Budget is always a problem but what's new.Īnything I might need to consider I might over look? I am looking because at the college I attend they have VMware VDI setup and it works direct from the browser which is fantastic so I want to know more.Īt the same time I am looking at if it's going to work out as a better option and if it's going to be price effective.

So I have been looking at VDI options, and it's been a while and it's oh so different from what I remember when looking at it a few years ago. I have been using a TS setup for many years with success but this customer has a setup and the TS setup isn't as efficient as there are a decent number of remote users who aren't sitting a computer all the time and remote access from a phone or mobile device is hit and miss. In 18 months I will be needing to replace a TS server that currently has about 20 odd users, and growing slowly.
