Terminal Services Benefits

   

---

Terminal Services in Windows Server 2003 provides three important benefits:

• Rapid, centralized application deployment.

  Terminal Server is great for rapidly deploying Windows-based applications to computing devices across an enterprise ” especially applications that are frequently updated, infrequently used, or hard to manage. When an application is managed on Terminal Server and not on each device, administrators can be certain that users are running the latest version of the application.

• Low-bandwidth access to data.

  Terminal Server considerably reduces the amount of network bandwidth required to access data remotely. Using Terminal Services to run an application over bandwidth-constrained connections, such as dial-up or shared WAN links, is effective for remotely accessing and manipulating large amounts of data because only a screen view of the data is transmitted rather than the data itself.

• Windows anywhere .

  Terminal Server helps users become more productive by enabling access to current applications on any device ”including underpowered hardware and non-Windows desktops. And because Terminal Server lets you use Windows anywhere, you can take advantage of extra processing capabilities from newer , lighter-weight devices such as the Pocket PC.
