Results
With the conversion to RDS, all software is now centrally managed within the RDS environment; licensing management has been significantly simplified. Software upgrades can now be easily deployed within the RDS server environment, and by utilizing Hyper-V snapshot technologies, tested and rolled back in the event of compatibilities issues.
Workstations in the remote facilities are now reduced to dumb terminals and as new facilities come online or workstations reach end of life, they can now be replaced with low cost terminals. VPN Wide Area Network tunnels have been removed and replaced with low cost secure SSL RDS connections. This also allows for simplified telecommuting for employees.
