FWIW - 50 concurrent users, I'd be leery of virtualising a terminal
server for that sort of user load unless you have a very robust virtual
platform in place already or are planning to implement one (Citrix, ESX
etc.), and even then...perhaps a virtual clustered terminal server setup
spread out over several physical servers might make sense, but again
you'd need to have the platform available to implement something like
that.  The questions that come to mind, however, are: to what purpose do
you wish to do this, i.e. what do you wish to gain; what's the
application profile for the server as this would dictate performance
stats; and if this is the only terminal server in your environment, on
what would you be running the virtual server, i.e. how robust is the
underlying platform?  Again - FWIW.

Subject: Virtualize Terminal Server or not?

 

Anyone know if it makes sense to virtualize a core terminal server that
will have about 50 concurrent users connecting to it?  Or is it better
to get a new server that will be dedicated for this purpose?

Best Regards,

Phil
