Terminal Services server requirements

Microsoft recommends using a dedicated Terminal Services server/Citrix server. There might be performance losses if SQL Server is running on the Terminal Services server/Citrix server. To help offset performance losses, it is highly recommended to have two separate servers: one server with Terminal Services and/or Citrix, and one server with SQL Server.

  • We recommend no more then 25 users per 100 Base-T network card, unless a Fiber NIC is installed. If a Fiber NIC is installed, the SQL server also should have a Fiber NIC installed for optimal network performance.

  • Ensure switch is capable of handling network traffic.

Users

Based on 15-20 users for each Terminal Services server

  • Increased user count may require greater RAM and processor speed.

  • Users of FRx or Crystal Reports via Terminal Services may require increased hardware to improve performance.

Hardware Virtualization

  • Microsoft Virtual PC

  • Microsoft Virtual Server

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V
