How Hyve Can Help
With Remote Desktop, users login to the solution and remotely connect to a single server to access their desktop.
Similar to shared cloud hosting, users benefit from all the capabilities of Windows or Linux, but users share the operating system and resources.
Citrix Virtual Apps
Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) delivers secure applications, desktops and resources to users on any device.
Applications are isolated from the underlying OS and delivered to the individual device, so they don’t need to be installed on the desktop as all the configuration and data is kept on the server. The user’s device needs the Citrix Receiver installed in order to gain access to shared hosted resources from a Windows Server.
Remote Desktop Service (RDS)
Microsoft RDS (also known as a terminal server) runs on Windows Server and allows users to share infrastructure resources so that multiple users can access the same operating system at the same time.
RDS can be used to give access to full desktops, as well as to single applications. In case of the full desktop, it is typically ‘skinned’ to make it look like a desktop version of Windows.
