Terminal Server Hardware Recommendations


Recommended Posts

Hey Gang,

 

It's about that time to upgrade our server, and honestly I haven't been

keeping up with current hardware out there. So I'm looking for

recommendations

 

We currently have

 

Windows 2k (32bit) Server

2ghz Dual Processors (single core)

4gb Memory

SCSI Raid 1 (operating system)

SCSI Raid 5 (Data files)

 

This system was originally designed to house about 10-15 concurrent users

and thier applications. The last 4.5 years have been pretty good to use,

especially considering it's holding a load of about 35 concurrent users and

all thier applications. With that unexpected growth in mind.. I'm thinking

 

Win2k3 server (64-bit)

8GB Memory

Dual Quad Core Processors (speed recommendations? and should I consider

starting with 2 expandable to 4?)

Hot swappable Hard Drive .. is SCSI obsolete or still the most reliable?

 

 

Any Tips and recommendations for your experiences would be appreciated

 

Thanks

 

Andre

Re: Terminal Server Hardware Recommendations

 

I would think twice about the 64-bit. This would only allow 64-bit

printer drivers, and add to the already existing problem with

finding TS compatible printer drivers.

That is, unless you can wait for Windows 2008, which includes a new

feature called Easy Print, which should solve the printer driver

problem.

 

And I would rather buy to less powerfull servers and load-balance

them than buying a single high performance server.

Re: Terminal Server Hardware Recommendations

 

Don't I need twice as many server licenses then?

Re: Terminal Server Hardware Recommendations

 

You need to buy Windows 2003 twice, yes. Clients can use the same

server CAL and TS CAL to access both servers.

But often 2 moderately powerfull servers are cheaper than one high

performance server.

Re: Terminal Server Hardware Recommendations

 

I've put both those suggestions through to dell, just to see what thier

recommendations are, they're telling me that thier "tech" guys say that it

will be to expensive and not benefit me. And that cluster licenses are 60%

more expensive then regular licenses?

Re: Terminal Server Hardware Recommendations

 

Who talks about clustering???

I can only assume that Dell suggested that you run Session

Directory, which would mean that you have to run Windows 2003

Enterprise Edition, which is much more expensive, yes.

But that's not what I proposed. You can have a load-balanced farm

with Windows 2003 Standard Edition.

But if you want to go for a single 64-bit server, it's up to you. I

just don't like putting all my eggs in one basket.

Re: Terminal Server Hardware Recommendations

 

Well, they implied I could only share licenses if I was clustered? I

haven't made any decisions yet.. I agree with the eggs in one basket bit,

but I'm still trying to learn more .. i've only ever had the one server so I

don't know what's involved with load balancing. Though, I do believe i'm

going to stall until 2008 release .. then there's the part about being iffy

on running on a brand new OS.. lol, I can't win here.

Re: Terminal Server Hardware Recommendations

 

You'll have to ask Dell what they had in mind, but there's no

"license sharing", with or without clustering.
