This Active/Active Broker provides the administrator with an easily deployable high availability and scalability solution for RD Connection Broker servers SQL Server is used for storing RD Connection Broker server runtime and configuration data thereby allowing admins to use SQL HA features for data high availability and scalability. It provides high availability and high scalability benefits for medium to larger deployments. The Active/Active Broker feature in Windows Server 2012 is a full high availability deployment where every RD Connection Broker server is active and sharing the load. This functionality enables you to evenly distribute the session load between servers in a load-balanced RD Session Host server farm.

If the RD Connection Broker Load Balancing feature is enabled, RD Connection Broker also tracks the number of user sessions on each RD Session Host server in the farm, and redirects users who do not have an existing session to the server with the fewest sessions. RD Connection Broker is also used to provide users access to RemoteApp programs and virtual desktops through RemoteApp and Desktop Connection. Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker), formerly TS Session Broker, supports session load balancing and session reconnection in a load-balanced RD Session Host server farm.
