What to Expect From the Windows Terminal Services in a 64-Bit Environment |

"In this article, I will discuss why 64-bit servers may be a worthwhile investment for organizations that are currently using Windows Server 2003 based terminal servers. One of the most frustrating aspects of administering a Terminal Server environment is the fact that it can take relatively few user sessions to max out a terminal server’s capabilities. Microsoft’s documentation states that there is an effective limit of 300 user sessions per terminal server. However, factors such as the number of applications being run, the quantity of resources consumed by the various applications, the end user’s level of activity, and the server’s hardware can all make the actual number of sessions that a terminal server can support much, much lower than the stated value. One technology that is promising to help to limit the impact of these factors though is the gradual shift to 64-bit computing." Read the full article here.
