How many clients, and what applications are you considering to deploy in your Terminal Server thoughts?
We have thought about that here, but everyone keeps wanting to run such high powered applications that I don't know if Terminal Server could handle it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richardson,Tony Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 10:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [info-tech] Terminal Server Environment? I also am considering this for the Media Centers here in Humboldt. We currently have individual PCs which cause mixed experiences for the students and often no matter how much you lock them down several fail for one reason or another. Some say that the drawback to terminal services is that if the server fails your out of business. Well if a media center had say 60 PCs in it now you'd probably want a couple of servers for that center anyway for great performance and you'd probably want Gigabit Ethernet. With the redundancy built into servers currently, failure would be extremely rare and TCO would be a lot lower for the school. All apps would be on the servers making them easier to maintain so staffing requirements would be lower. Check into some of the DELL ThinPC Solutions with the Linux PIXIL Thin Client. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kurt McKenney Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 9:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [info-tech] Terminal Server Environment? Ok, I am thinking of setting up a terminal server environment from a 2003 server with Linux clients.
