Terminal Servers

Terminal servers are difficult to describe to an audience that is not familiar with the technology. It is important for every business with even minimal computer network needs to evaluate the potential uses of terminal services.

 Terminal Server lets you deliver Windows-based applications, or the Windows desktop itself, to virtually any computing device-including those that cannot run Windows. A Terminal Server can enhance business software deployment capabilities for a variety of scenarios that remain difficult to solve using traditional application distribution technologies. When users run an application on Terminal Server, the application execution takes place on the server, and only keyboard, mouse and monitor information is transmitted over the network. Users see only their own individual sessions, which are managed transparently by the server operating system, and remain independent of any other client session. Even more impressive is the ability to transmit the mouse, keyboard and screen information over a secure internet connection.

Agility has been deploying and supporting Terminal Servers since the first products became available for Microsoft Windows.
