RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a protocol or technical standard used to organize remote work between a user and a server.
Clients exist for almost all versions of Windows (including Windows CE, Phone, and Mobile), Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, and Symbian.
In this article, we would like to invite you to consider the RDP Windows server through the prism of a cloud server from SIM-Networks. We will show you how easy it is to connect to a remote server, walking you through every step.
Preparatory stage
To start with RDP, you will need a server or cloud solution with the pre-installed Windows operating system. Each OS has its minimum computing power requirements. Given that RDP is often used for production workloads, the server must meet these requirements. Our cloud servers provide sufficient computing resources for efficient operation and automatic data backup.
In this instruction, we install the Remote Desktop Service using the SIM-Networks cloud with an Intel Xeon processor with 4 cores, 16 GB of RAM, and 100 GB of storage (Marin package).
To access your cloud server, you will receive a unique login and password by email. These credentials are required to connect to the cloud control panel.
For those who prefer visual guidance, we also offer video instructions on how to connect to a cloud server via RDP.
