Transition from single to cluster?

[Guest Brian MXP]

Howdy-

 

Is there any way to move from a current, single production Terminal Server to something

like a two server cluster? I'd like to have some more fault tolerance and the ability to

independently reboot the systems without causing problems for users... And NLB seems like

it only handles network loads and not CPU or memory...

 

TIA,

BM

You need a solution that implements "real" load balancing like Citrix

Presentation Server. For a small environment Citrix Access Essentials

might just be the right thing:

Other vendors like Ericom surely have similar offerings.

 

I hope this helps.
