350 concurrent Terminal Server connections?

[Guest Pearl]

I have a need to establish a possible 350 concurrent remote connections to a

Windows 2003 Terminal Server. The server is a Dell 2950 with quad procs and

4gb or memory. Can I establish my 350 concurrent connections? I've never

had to deal with this many concurrent connections before.

I wouldn't put them all onto a single server.

Since cpu is in most cases not an issue, consider the standard edition of Windows Server can only address up to 32 bit physical

memory, the cpu were able to address up to 36 bit though. I guess the paged pool and page table entries can run off.

This depends on many factors, for example if there are scenarious where 350 ppl are simultaneously active. What applications do they

use? What is the memory footprint to expect of the applications, and so on...

Me neither! That much... Good luck boy
