REMOTE DESKTOP VIRTUALIZATION

OBJECTIVES

The main objectives of the Summer Internship @ Coltene Whaledent India Pvt. Ltd. were:

Study & Understand the concept of Remote Desktop Virtualization Briefly analyze the trends of RDV in India Assess the most viable option for implementation in the Company

INTRODUCTION
Remote Desktop Virtualization is a term used for a new approach to the provisioning, delivery, and management of user desktops in the enterprise.
The main principle behind this new approach is leveraging existing and well-proven virtualization technologies to virtualize not only servers but also user desktops.

TYPES OF DESKTOP VIRTUALIZATION

There are two main variants of desktop virtualization:
Hosted desktop virtualization: This is when a server located in a data center hosts virtual machines. Users connect to the server via connection brokers and receive their user interface via standard protocols, such as Remote Desktop Protocol. Client virtualization: In this model, hyper visor software installed on the client device allows one desktop to run multiple operating systems.

HOW TO ACHIEVE DESKTOP VIRTUALIZATION?

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure [VDI] is an integrated solution of hardware, software and management tools to provide a replacement for standard desktop deployments. In the simplest terms, VDI places user desktops on a centralized server.

OMMUNICATIONS

Data Communications is the exchange of data using existing communication networks. The term data covers a wide range of applications including File Transfer (FT), Interconnection between Wide-Area-Networks (WAN), facsimile (fax), electronic mail, access to the internet and the World Wide Web (WWW).

ATA

OMMUNICATIONS

Uses variety of networks such as: PSTN (Public Switched Telecom Network) Leased-lines ISDN(Integrated Services Data Network) ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)

These networks are made available using technologies such as Circuitswitching & Packet-switching.

OMMUNICATIONS

NETWORK SWITCHING
Circuit switching implies that data from one user (sender) to another (receiver) has to follow a pre-specified path. If a link to be used is busy, the message cannot be redirected, a property which causes many delays. Packet switching is an attempt to make better utilization of the existing network by splitting the message to be sent into packets. Each packet contains information about the sender, the receiver, the position of the packet in the message as well as part of the actual message.

IMPLEMENTATION OF MOBILITY
Mobility implemented in data communications has a significant difference compared to voice communications. Mobile phones allow the user to move around and talk at the same time.

The loss of the connection for 400ms during the hand over is undetectable by the user. When it comes to data, 400ms is not only detectable but causes huge distortion to the message. Therefore data can be transmitted from a mobile station under the assumption that it remains stable or within the same cell.

CPDP
CELLULAR DIGITAL PACKET DATA
The introduction of mobility in data communications required a move from the Public Switched Data Network (PSDN) to other networks like the ones used by mobile phones.
PCSI has come up with an idea called CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) technology which uses the existing mobile network (frequencies used for mobile telephony).

CPDP
WHY CPDP?
CDPD's principle lies in the usage of the idle time in between existing voice signals that are being sent across the cellular networks. The major advantage of this system is the fact that the idle time is not chargeable and so the cost of data transmission is very low.

REMOTE DESKTOP PROTOCOL (RDP)

RDP is a protocol developed for Accessibility and management of remote servers.
It provides user with the graphical interface to another computer and securely channels the communication between remote clients and servers. Its unique characteristics are: Own Video Driver on server to render display output. Use of Network packets. Layered Architecture. Allows routing of Mouse/Keyboard presses.
