Exploring the Latest Streaming Enhancements in Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop
In the latest episode of Windows in the Cloud, exciting updates were shared about Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop. The like-local engineering team showcased their innovative streaming enhancements, making remote work feel seamless.
What’s New?
One of the standout features is Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Multipath. This technology allows data to travel over multiple network paths. As a result, it boosts reliability and performance, ensuring users stay connected even if one path falters.
“Like local refers to an experience in which the user feels they are working on a local machine.”
Additionally, enhancements in GPU hardware acceleration are game-changers for graphics performance. Users can now experience higher fidelity graphics, including 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. This is a significant leap for remote sessions, making them more visually appealing and responsive.
Major Updates to Connection Time
Improving connection times has been a top priority. The team has introduced several improvements to the connection process. These include advancements in authentication protocols, RDP file caching, and token management. The goal is to make the user experience as smooth as possible.
“Connecting to the remote machine is the gateway to our like-local Cloud PC experience.”
By continuously refining every layer of the protocol, they aim to reduce latency and enhance overall performance. This commitment to improvement ensures that users can access their remote sessions quickly and efficiently.
What’s Important to Know?
For tech enthusiasts, understanding the implications of these updates is crucial. The like-local experience is designed to make remote work feel as natural as working on a local machine. Optimizing performance across all layers is essential for achieving this goal.
Moreover, the advancements in GPU utilization mean that even remote users can enjoy high-quality graphics. This is particularly beneficial for gamers and professionals who rely on graphic-intensive applications.
