Microsoft App-V for TS/RDS is now available to customers that have Terminal Services licensing (Windows Server 2003 R2 or prior) or Remote Desktop Services (Windows Server 2008 or newer) under Software Assurance at no extra charge. It’s been posted on the public Microsoft web site for customers to download.
Server growth is a costly issue for organizations that rely on session hosts / terminal servers. To avoid application conflicts, applications must undergo significant testing to determine which applications will collide and, therefore, must be separated and run on different session host / terminal server silos—a time-consuming and costly process.
Running multiple separate terminal servers for each application routinely results in servers being underutilized because each one is locked into a specific configuration, capable of serving only a limited set of non-conflicting applications, typically using just 25 percent of capacity. Often, 20 servers are required to support 1,000 users.
Microsoft App-V for Terminal Services completely changes this situation offering the following features and benefits: Consolidate servers and end server siloing, end application conflicts and regression testing, accelerate application deployment, reduce deployment risk, simplify profile management
