What you need to know when going for a hybrid cloud solution

Before going hybrid you needs to fully understand that hybrid doesn’t provide all the cloud benefits available for companies adopting the cloud-first strategy. However, there are still many benefits of going hybrid. It is important for CSPs to understand that hybrid is a “transition to cloud” approach and thus, they can eventually get their business landed in the Cloud!

Here are a few reasons why hybrid fits best for CSP business:

• Easy Disaster Recovery

In modern times, disaster recovery is an important aspect which every business must throw light to. Since Hybrid provides cloud benefits too, organizations can take the advantage of cloud storage that can be beneficial in case of a disaster. The organization’s mission critical applications and sensitive data can be backed up in the cloud and the best part is: you can pay for what you use!

• Flexibility

Hybrid cloud allows for flexibly so your organization can keep what is needed in the on-perm setup and pay for what is needed from the cloud. This transition can also lead up to adopt the cloud-first strategy for your company eventually.

• Innovative solutions

The cloud has provided a huge platform for innovation with security. With hybrid deployments, you can leverage the benefits of cloud innovation. One example is cloud bursting. Companies can run their solutions or apps in their data centers; however, if there is a need for it, they can burst the app into public cloud. Apps that handle non-sensitive information can be used like that.

• Cost–effective management

Going hybrid brings more ease of administration. Not only the tasks are easily managed (while no data centers being monitored at all times), they are also done with a reduced cost.

It’s time to take a stand

Hybrid solutions provide a combination of public and private environments to make the companies get the best of both the worlds. This maximizes productivity of the business and thus gives you all the time you need to get used to the cloud based environment before jumping to the cloud.

Remote Desktop Service 2019 has put forth innovation that revolves around three areas: simplify IT management, improved security and User experience. Let’s have a look at these three areas one by one:

Simplifying IT Management

Scaling deployment needs to be simple in order to make management easier. In the previous releases, management was made easier using Active Directory which had an overall impact on management of Remote Desktop (RD) licensing servers. With this release, customers are given the leverage of RD Licensing servers that are forward compatible for upcoming version of Windows Server. This means the licenses will be easier to manage from a variety of RDS releases. Performance Counters APIs have been added in order to facilitate partners with easy data access so they can build monitoring Dashboards and be able to deliver a consistent user experience for their customers.

User Experience

Much focus has been given to Enhancement of user experience. Modern notification mechanism has been introduced where notifications are added in RemoteApp in the Action Center. This will improved productivity with applications like MS Outlook. Better video stream quality has been added with higher frame rates for which high level redirection of built-in or attached cameras is added. This optimizes the video quality in remote and applications and desktops. Hence users find video-intensive interactions with a better experience. Furthermore, in order to increase image quality for a faster web client experience, bandwidth of CPU usage on client and server has been reduced.

Improved Security

Providing better security is the primary focus on RDS. Previous RDS releases have been equipped with security measures and this version has a few security enhancements too. With a decent Admin Center integration, all local and remote server management is consolidated to a single pane quite manageably. For a trusted end-to-end RDS deployment, a DTLS-based encryption feature is added that is also easy to configure within the system. Further, a web client support for Single Sign-on (SSO) is added for web client users for a streamlined authentication user experience. Lastly, Windows Defender systems have been brought into RDS 2019.

Deployment on Azure

For CSPs, here’s good news. Deploying RDS on Azure provides full flexibility, security and scalability that are advantages of working with Azure. Hybrid deployments are also supported to improve flexibility and ease of adoption. RDS deployments are available through CSP Program. With this, partners can easily sell RDS subscriptions with their CSP program. This eliminates one whole extra step of partners and their clients getting different subscription and licenses through a variety of programs.
