An RDP server is a computer or virtual machine that uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to enable remote access to its desktop and applications. RDP servers establish a secure connection through which users can access resources from remote locations.
• Session management: Enables management of multiple concurrent user sessions
• Resource allocation: Distributes system resources such as CPU, memory, and bandwidth to active sessions
• Encryption: Implements security protocols to encrypt data transmission
• Authentication: Verifies the identity of users attempting to connect
• Screen transmission: Sends screen contents to the client in real-time
• Peripheral redirection: Allows the use of local devices such as printers or USB drives in the remote session
• Performance optimization: Adjusts image quality and transmission rate based on available network bandwidth
