# RDP Optimizations Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and later include bulk compressors that compress all data sent from the server to the client. These compressors can be enforced by the computer-wide **Set compression algorithm for RDP data Group Policy** setting. The choice of compression algorithm impacts the memory and CPU consumption on the server and thus affects server scalability. RDP optimization can be configured to: * Use the least amount of memory * Use the least amount of network bandwidth * Balance between memory and network bandwidth utilization (default) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
