Chapter 7: Designing High Availability Solutions


Overview

This chapter describes the options you have, the steps you must take, and the money you must spend to ensure that your Terminal Servers are highly available for your end users.

In most environments, the use of Terminal Services starts out small. A single server usually provides a few applications to a few users. Over time, those environments reach the point of users depending on the applications hosted on Terminal Server. Then it becomes necessary to administrators to think about building multiple servers and systems that can automatically carry users through a failure of one system.

By thinking about how Terminal Server and its supporting systems work and how your users will use them, you can create a strategy to guarantee that the system has the redundancy needed to absorb small "hiccups" and is properly backed up to survive major disasters.

The redundancy of many Terminal Services components is discussed throughout this book. This chapter pulls those components together creating a holistic strategy that you can apply to your entire Terminal Server environment.
