An effective method for virtualizing virtual machines in a terminal

Once you have decided on the type of virtual machine you want to create in the terminal virtualization mode, you can begin to pool the virtual machine.

Grouping terminal virtualized virtual machines

Ideally, you can pool virtualized virtual machines based on end user types and run low-configuration requirements in a single host server pool. Virtual machines, each virtual machine is allocated 1 to 2 GB of memory, a virtual processor. Virtual machines with medium configuration requirements, each virtual machine is allocated 2 to 4 GB of memory, there may be two virtual processors, which will run in another host server pool; virtual machines with high configuration requirements, each virtual machine allocates 4 GB or more of memory. More than two processors will run on another set of host servers.

Grouping desktop virtual machines in the above manner simplifies the management of terminal virtualization because you can run multiple virtual machines with low and medium configuration requirements in one host server pool, while on a separate Virtual machines running fewer high-configuration requirements in the pool.

Another major advantage of terminal virtualization is that it greatly simplifies the software update process for Windows, especially if you are running a non-persistent virtual machine. Because all virtual machines are generated by one or two source images, once the user logs out of these virtual machines and is discarded, you only need to maintain and update the source image every month, which greatly reduces your server update overhead.

The Future of Terminal Virtualization

Terminal virtualization has been accepted, and once organizations adopt it completely, terminal virtualization will provide a new way of desktop management and usage. The era of unchanging operating systems will pass, with distributed desktop management and end users with administrative access going to the end.

Organizations no longer need to manage complex hardware and software configurations to allow end users access to their desktop environments. New devices with simpler operating systems, such as Apple's iPad, iPhone or Google's Android, are coming to the front of the user and changing the mode of the terminal hardware.

Centralized terminal virtualization will continue to exist and maintain productivity workloads in Windows environments. But centralized terminal virtualization will continue to simplify the way we manage these virtual machines. This shift is underway and threatens to completely affect Microsoft's desktop dominance.
