| You suggest using Terminal Services to host the applications. Ralph, however, knows nothing about Terminal Services. Explain how using Terminal Services can resolve all of the network design problems Ralph is experiencing. |
|
Definition
| When using Terminal Services, the applications run on the server and not the workstation. Therefore, it is only necessary to install them on that one computer. This ensures that all users are running the same application versions, and it simplifies maintenance and upgrade tasks for administrators because they only have to work on a single installation. A user connecting to a Terminal Services server only has to run a simple client program because the resources needed to run the applications are on the server. This means that client workstations can be inexpensive, low-end computers, which reduces hardware costs. Software expenses are also reduced because instead of purchasing application licenses for individual workstations, which might or might not be in use at any given time, you can maintain a pool of licenses on the Terminal Services server, which the system allocates to users as they log on. |
