Fig. 2.3.1.-1 Principles of Terminal Server based computing

Server-based computing

With server-based computing it is possible to deploy, manage, support and execute

applications completely on a server. The client devices, whether “fat or thin”, have

instant access to it without application rewrites or downloads.

Components of server-based computing

Server-based computing relies on three critical components:

1. A multiuser operating system that allows multiple concurrent users to log on and

run applications in separate, protected sessions on a single server.

2. A remote presentation services architecture capable of separating the

application's logic from its user interface, in such a way that only keystrokes,

mouse clicks, and screen updates travel the network.

3. The Terminal Server product consists of four components: the Windows Server

multiuser core, the Remote Display Protocol, the Windows-based client software

and enhanced system administration tools.

Terminal Server: A multiuser server core that provides the ability to host

multiple, simultaneous client sessions on Windows Server 4.0 (Terminal Server

Edition) and on later versions of Windows Server (Windows Server 2000, Windows

Server 2003).

Remote Display Protocol (RDP): A key component of Terminal Server is the

protocol, which allows a client to communicate with the Terminal Server over the

network. It is a multichannel protocol tuned for high-bandwidth enterprise

environments. Furthermore, it supports three levels of encryption.

Terminal Server Client: The client software presenting or displaying the 32-bit

Windows user interface on a range of desktop hardware.
