Microsoft Windows Server and the Terminal Services are getting more and more features with every new release and service packs. One key feature missing is a good load balancing solution for RDP sessions. Microsoft does offer load balancing solutions but reaches fast complexity and/or means a big invest for companies. First there is simple DNS Round Robin but not very useful to load balance sessions. A better solution is Micosoft Windows Load Balancing Service (WLBS) with or without terminal services session directory. The session directory service comes with the enterprise version of Windows 2003 Server. To fill the gap with an adequate load balancing solution for terminal services, the Software Company 2X now released their LoadBalancer version 4.02 (formally known as WTSGateway Pro). The 2X LoadBalancer is a fast and easy to deploy solution for load balancing RDP/ICA sessions. The RDP over SSL support is simple to configure, no client configuration and no need to buy a public certificate but you have to think about the security risk. The new resource Monitor rounds up the product with an E-mail alerting system where custom thresholds can be set. Read Thomas' review here.
