Windows 7 for IT Pros:

Reduce Costs by Streamlining PC Management

Better Support for Client Virtualization

Better Support for Client Virtualization

With VDI, you can run user desktops running in virtual machines on centralized servers. VDI provides an alternative to traditional desktop environments for nonmobile workers, with benefits that include flexibility (including user access from multiple locations) and increased business continuity. Key issues with VDI today are total cost of ownership (because VDI requires a significant upfront investment in servers and infrastructure) and the quality of the user experience, which is delivered over the network.

Windows 7 delivers improvements in both of these areas—including richer remote graphics and improved performance and reliability—when coupled with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V™ technology. Also, through the introduction of direct VHD boot, you can now use the same image to deploy a virtual desktop as you use to deploy a typical PC.

Richer Remoting Experience

Windows 7 delivers a richer virtual desktop experience that is closer to the experience provided by a local Windows desktop.

Graphics

Windows 7 provides multimonitor support for virtual desktops. Enterprises can now realize the benefits of VDI in scenarios such as financial trading, where users need to view information on multiple physical moni- tors. Other graphics improvements include remoting of the Aero UI and more fluid video performance with Windows Media Player. Specifically engineered 3-D applications are also remoted more efficiently.

Audio

With support for bidirectional audio, workers can now use microphones, meaning that remote desktops can use functionality such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), speech recognition, and unified commu- nications. Improved audio playback over low-latency connections helps mitigate A/V synchronization issues when remoting multimedia content.

Devices

Workers can easily print to a local printer from their client PCs while operating in a VDI environment, without the need to install printer drivers on the server.

VHD Boot

VHD boot is a feature of Windows 7 that helps ease the transition between virtual and physical environ- ments, by helping enterprises reuse the same master image within a VDI infrastructure and on physical PCs. For example, imagine a call center with 100 users who work remotely through VDI but need the same desktop images as their counterparts who work onsite using traditional PCs. VHD boot is designed for users in a highly managed environment and is best used with technologies such as Folder Redirection and Roaming User Profiles so that the user’s state is not stored in the image.
