Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services - Licence - 20 device CALs - Win - English
With Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 Beta 3, Microsoft releases its most powerful centralized application platform ever, offering an impressive array of new capabilities that dramatically improve the administrator and user experiences.
The new Terminal Services features in this Beta 3 release provide a substantial upgrade in functionality, performance, and user experience. Terminal Services now provides centralized access to individual applications without the need to provide the whole remote desktop. Applications running remotely are integrated with the local user’s desktop—looking, feeling, and behaving like local applications. Organizations can provide more secure access to centralized applications or desktops, and other resources from the Internet, by using HTTPS, without needing to provide access via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or opening up unwanted ports on firewalls. This reduces the complexity needed to provide secure remote access to applications and data for users, partners, or customers. For deployments with several servers, the new load-balancing features provide a simple way to ensure optimal performance by spreading sessions among the least-loaded available resources.
With Terminal Services you can:
- Deploy applications that integrate with the user’s local desktop.
- Provide access to centrally managed Windows desktops.
- Enable remote access for existing “WAN-unfriendly” applications.
- Secure applications and data within the data center—no need to worry about lost laptops.
