System and Method for Live Migration of Remote Desktop Session Host Sessions without Data Loss

摘要

A remote desktop session host system includes a first terminal server including a first data collector, a second terminal server including a second data collector, and a data storage device. The first terminal server hosts a first terminal session. In response to determining that the first terminal server is underutilized, the first data collector creates a snapshot of the first terminal session, stores the snapshot on the data storage device, and logs off the first terminal session. The snapshot includes a context for the first terminal session. A second terminal session is launched on the second terminal server, and the second data collector retrieves the snapshot and provides the snapshot to the second terminal session to restore the context to the second session.
