In 2016, it was estimated that approximately 5% of Australians worked from home. By 2023, that number had climbed to more than one in three workers. This growth has meant more and more businesses need a safe, practical means of giving teams spread out around a city, state or country access to all the tools they would normally have on their desktop at work to ensure continued productivity. It’s an excellent option for staff who work from home, work in a hybrid manner, or for teams out in the field on a regular basis.
Windows Remote Desktop Services through VPS Blocks gives you that ability and reduces the cost of updating hardware and installing and maintaining the various applications on a bunch of physical computers.

Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is a Microsoft technology that allows users to access a virtual desktop or applications hosted on a remote server over a network. RDS enables centralized management of desktops and applications, allowing users to connect remotely from different devices.
The main components of Remote Desktop Services include:
RDS offers several benefits, including:
RDS provides access to a shared desktop or application environment, where multiple users access the same virtualized environment. VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), on the other hand, provides each user with their own isolated virtual desktop. RDS is more cost-effective for application delivery, while VDI offers more flexibility for personalized desktop environments.
Yes, RDS can be configured to host specific applications rather than full desktops. This is known as RemoteApp and allows users to access individual applications (e.g., Microsoft Office) as if they were running locally on their machines, while the application itself is hosted remotely.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a secure connection between a user’s device and the corporate network, while RDS enables users to access desktops or applications hosted on a remote server. A VPN provides access to the network, but RDS is specifically designed for application and desktop delivery, making it more suitable for remote work scenarios.
To set up RDS on Windows Server, you need to:
Yes, Remote Desktop Services supports simultaneous access for multiple users. Each user is allocated a session on the RDS server, enabling them to run applications and access their desktop in a shared environment.
RDS licensing is managed through the Remote Desktop Licensing Manager. You need to purchase Client Access Licenses (CALs) for each user or device that will access the RDS server. You can configure and track licenses using the Remote Desktop Licensing Server.
Yes, RDS can be configured for secure access. Features like Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) provide encrypted connections over the internet. You can also implement multi-factor authentication (MFA), secure network configurations, and firewall settings to enhance the security of RDS sessions.
