provided
e.
Application used, and version, any special local
customization
f.
SLA
g.
Connection type
2.
Determine whether the workload can be delivered
using presentation virtualization
a.
Issues that affect an application business
viability
b.
Issues that precent an application from being
published
3.
Decide whether the workload will be delivered
from an RD session host or using VDI
4.
Categorize users
a.
Heavy user
b.
Normal user
c.
Light user
Step 3
Determine the number of RD session host server farm
1.
Determine the number of RD session host server
farm
a.
Clients separated from the current farm by WAN
speeds
b.
Traveling users
c.
Requirements to run different version of same
software, or to have different versions of the same files
d.
Security limitation in some clients
e.
Internal and external user populations
f.
Specific encryption requirements
g.
Organizational requirements to separate business
groups
h.
Legal considerations requiring a separate farm
Step 4
Map workloads and users to farms
1.
Assign workload and users to RD session host
server farms
Step 5
Design Farms
1.
Select a form factor for the RD session host
server
a.
User large memory
b.
More numerous, smaller disk spindles
c.
Use multi-core and multi-processor CPUs
2.
Determine the number of RD session host servers
required in the farm
3.
Determine the number of additional servers
required for fault tolerance
Step 6
Determine where to store user data
1.
Design user profiles
a.
Mandatory profiles
b.
Space required
c.
User profiles location
2.
Design user data
a.
Space required
b.
User data location
3.
Design storage
a.
Capacity
b.
Performance
c.
Fault tolerance
Step 7
Size and place the remote desktop services role services for
the farms
1.
Design and place the RD connection broker role
service
a.
Determine whether the RD connection broker role
service is required
b.
Determine the demand on the RD connection broker
c.
Determine whether to use dedicated redirectors
d.
Determine the number of servers required
e.
Decide whether the servers that host RD
connection broker can be shared
f.
Determine where to place the RD connection
broker role service in network
g.
Determine the fault-tolerance requirements of
the RD connection broker servers
2.
Determine the number of servers required for RD
web access
3.
Design and place the remote desktop license
servers
4.
Design and place the RD gateway servers
a.
Determine whether RD gateway is required
b.
Determine the required security model and the
location to place the RD gateway role
c.
Determine the demand on RD gateway
d.
Determine the number of servers required
e.
Decide whether the servers that host RD gateway
can be shared
f.
Determine the fault-tolerance requirements of
the RD gateway role services
Step 8
Secure the communication
1.
Determine the encryption level between clients
and RD session host server
2.
Determine whether to seal the communication
3.
Determine the certificate authority
4.
Determine whether to encapsulate with HTTPS
Step 9
Design VDI and RD virtualization host role
1.
Design the VDI environment
2.
Design the RD virtualization host role
