Microsoft VDI 2012 - VDI Personal collection vs Session-based deployment
- by Vazgen
I have a small confusion about the differences between the 2 types of set ups:
When deploying using Add Roles and Features the Wizard requests to choose from one of two Deployment Scenarios:
Virtual machine-based desktop deployment : Virtual machine-based desktop deployment allows users to connect to virtual desktop collections that include published RemoteApp programs and virtual desktops.
Session-based desktop deployment : Session-based desktop deployment allows users to connect to session collections that include published RemoteApp programs and session-based desktops.
Although this seems intuitive now, if I continue with "Virtual machine-based desktop deployment" I later have another two options when creating a collection:
Pooled virtual desktop collection
Personal virtual desktop collection
This is where my confusion lies. What is the differences between a Session-based deployment and Virtual machine-based deployment with Personal virtual desktop collections?
I'm mostly finding information pertaining to Windows Server 2008 but I know there are some core improvements in VDI 2012 so would someone please comment on that.
Thank you
