Welcome to the first of a three-part series on Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD), its latest news, features, and benefits for businesses.
Overview
Microsoft announced Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) in Sept 2018, and March 2019 saw a technical preview of the solution being made available to the general public. The service is ready and as of today, companies can use its client application for Windows, Android, iOS, HTML5, and Mac.

Faster, more powerful, upgraded, and re-engineered Thin Client optimized especially for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) initiatives

What is a Digital Workspace?
A digital workspace is a framework responsible for managing applications, data delivery, and desktops. The framework is a combination of various technologies working together to deliver simplified IT management and customized experience to end-users. Together, they enhance overall workforce productivity along with increased data security and integrity.

Blast is remote display protocols that boost the performance of endpoint devices in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployments. PCoIP is developed by Teradici and VMware takes the credit for introducing Blast Extreme. Let’s discuss how both protocols use data transfer rules that allow a desktop hosted at one location to display a client’s screen at another place, and how they differ in terms of performance.

Citrix Receiver is easy to install software which connects remote client devices to desktops and apps through the HDX protocol. The plug-ins available to versions of the Receiver depends on a client’s form factor, features, and capabilities. The HDX protocol is built on top of the ICA protocol which transfers keyboard and mouse input to the remote server and receives screenshot updates on the client device. The Receiver manages this traffic and the HDX protocol offers an HD experience of Windows apps to end-users working on the devices.

A Blade PC is everything one would look for in a standard desktop PC. The technology is contained in a secure server rack as a slim modular circuit card. It contains a hard drive, microprocessor, memory chips, network card, and a video card. An end user’s physical desktop has a keyboard, mouse, monitor, and a device similar to a router which connects back to a Blade PC via a network. The user simply needs to switch on the device to boot up and connect to the blade.

Cloud is known for providing enterprises the convenience to transform their back-end architecture into remote environments. The technology eliminates the processes involved in setting up, hosting, or scaling back-end systems. To start with, there are three groups of cloud infrastructure. The first is a public cloud, a low-cost structure that is available to the general public as a free or pay-per-use model. It is available for use or purchase over the public Internet and can be sold on-demand to businesses on the basis of the pay-per-usage system.

Tech-savvy or not, you have probably heard about how Linux provides a desktop operating system with vast settings and configurations. It was the natural choice for companies that sought something unique in an OS. When we talk about its Thin Client approach, Linux allows businesses to set up workstations with minimum installations which offload the bulk of the work to a centralized server.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) has long been hailed as a technology that helps businesses take their IT infrastructure to the next level. Often, ‘what is VDI and how it works’ appears as a common question in the IT community. It is mostly asked by those eager to understand the internal workings of the solution, and for good reasons. At its core, the platform creates virtual machines, or virtual computers, that store desktop operating systems, data, and software on a centralized server in place of individual PCs. Users can access their virtual desktops on practically any device, including laptops, tablets, mobile devices, Thin Clients, Zero Clients, and more. The system builds single images of virtual machines that are deployed to users and can be centrally managed for multiple tasks, updates, and troubleshooting.

Today, businesses demand versatile IT solutions capable of performing several functions and outdated technologies no longer fulfill this requirement. Take the example of the best PCs which provide solid performance but create clutter and demand through maintenance. This indicates that what they lack in one area, they make up for in another. Such resources demonstrate unpredictability and inconsistency, and it makes sense for businesses to re-evaluate their IT infrastructure. Left unresolved, this could lead to operational bottlenecks that have the potential to greatly hinder operations. Some common challenges related to PCs include high energy bills, lack of remote accessibility, and the inability to facilitate a safe infrastructure for data security.

ClearCube is a trusted partner to successful centralization and virtualization with our secure and innovative Virtual Desktop Infrastructure VDI solutions. What lies at the heart of our mission is the principle that VDI projects need more than end-to-end planning.
