RemoteFX In Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 and Windows 7 with SP1, Microsoft introduced RemoteFX, enables the delivery of a full-fidelity Windows user experience to a range of remote client devices, including rich clients, thin clients, and ultrathin clients. RemoteFX delivers a rich user experience for VDI by providing a 3D virtual adapter, intelligent codecs, and the ability to redirect USB devices in VMs. RemoteFX was integrated with RDP, which enabled shared encryption, authentication, management, and device support. RemoteFX also delivers a rich user experience for session-based desktops and RemoteApp programs to a broad range of client devices. Windows Server 2012 R2 builds on this platform to enable a far richer and easier experience on all types of networks and all types of devices. Specifically, RDP in Windows Server 2012 R2 enables a more consistent user experience when connecting to centralized desktops, even on networks in which bandwidth is limited and end-to-end latency is high. Technical description The enhanced user experience in Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8 RemoteFX includes the following new or enhanced features: RemoteFX for WAN maintain a consistent user experience over highly variable WANs. provide a full Windows Aero and RemoteFX Adaptive Graphics 3D user experience over WANs. RemoteFX USB redirection supports the RD Session Host role service and allows all standard USB devices to appear only within each user’s individual remote session. RemoteFX Streaming provides a smooth multimedia experience over variable or unreliable networks. RemoteFX Multitouch allows to use touch-enabled and gesture-enabled apps in remote desktop environments. RemoteFX virtualized GPU (vGPU) enables VMs to use a GPU in the host server to deliver a more robust experience and enable use of 3D or video-intensive applications in a remote session. RemoteFX for WAN With today’s modern workforce, clients frequently need to connect from branch offices, homes, or hotels over low-bandwidth or high-latency connections. To support remote desktops and applications over WANs, Remote Desktop Services must be able to quickly adapt to different network conditions.
