MICROSOFT TERMINAL
SERVER
The majority of Protronics Remote Office Solutions are delivered
using Microsoft Terminal Server. With the release of Windows
2000, Microsoft integrated Terminal Server into their core operating
system, enabling the deployment of Terminal Server with the
confidence that it will be fully supported and developed both
by Microsoft and the wider IT community.
Protronics use Terminal Server both because it offers the considerable
benefits of being standard technology, and because it addresses
two of the key issues for remote access:
|
| • |
Remote connections are typically much slower than those on the
office network. This can result in unacceptably slow applications,
and in convoluted solutions that attempt to work around this restriction.
Terminal Server significantly reduces the data that moves across
remote links, so enabling it to deliver acceptable application
speeds to the remote user without any modifications to the applications.
|
| • |
Remote
connections are generally much more vulnerable to failure than those
of your internal LAN. Such failures can result in data corruption
and this can result in a denial of remote access to core business
systems. Terminal Server changes the type of data that moves across
a remote link in such a way that it protects applications from data
corruption.
