It might depend on the number of people that are using or are planning to be using the console. If you only have a very few (under 5) you could get by with a single console. If you have or are planning to have more console connections than that then you might want to consider an additional Management Server that can be used to handle the connections.
Alternatively, Cireson makes a web-based console based on http that is an excellent choice for larger numbers of client connections.

The Management Server can be leveraged to place all of the Management Packs and zero connections, while the additional console can be used for all of the connections. Having the console on the alternate server reduces the load on the Management Server thus leaving more resources to the Management Server for running workflows, etc. On the downside , sometimes these two servers fall out of sync and then the Management Health Service requires a restart on both. That is not a frequent occurrence however. Thanks, Mark A.
