Terminal Services Scalability
TCS works with leading thin-client, virtualization, and application server companies to bring a multitude of choices to your environment including:
Planning Your Terminal Services Project
For Microsoft-based customers, the backbone of any successful thin-client or server-based rollout is Terminal Services. Regardless of choice (whether Citrix, 2X, Microsoft Server 2008, Xen, or a combination thereof with VMWare VDI solutions) a properly planned and executed Terminal Services environment is critical. It is important to note that the same limitations apply in terms of scalability, Microsoft terminal server licensing, and environment capacity planning.
The Terminal Services component of Windows Server 2003 builds on the solid foundation provided by the Application Server mode in Windows 2000 Terminal Services, and includes the new client and protocol capabilities in Windows XP. Terminal Services lets you deliver Windows-based applications, or the Windows desktop itself, to virtually any computing device, including those that cannot run Windows.
