Using USB devices in Desktop Virtualization environment

More and more large and small companies tend to use Virtual Desktop Environment for their employees because it is flexible, simple and secure.

Users working via the Remote Desktop, may need accessing their USB devices attached to their workstations, inside the RDP session on virtual desktop. USB Redirector RDP Edition helps to accomplish this!

This solution is most suitable for single-user applications, where one Virtual Machine is used by one user at a time. It also can be used when redirecting devices to Terminal Server. But please note that due to Windows specifics, all USB devices are global in the system to which they are redirected. For multi-user environments, where you need to isolate USB devices in RDP session, you can use our other solution USB Redirector TS Edition
