Terminal Services (TS), one of the core virtualization technologies available in Windows Server 2008, makes it possible to run an application in one location but have it be controlled in another—presentation virtualization. With Terminal Services presentation virtualization, you can install and manage applications on centralized servers in the data center; screen images are delivered to the users, and the users' client machines, in turn, send keystrokes and mouse movements back to the server. When using Terminal Services, administrators can present users with the individual applications and data they require to complete their task, or the whole remote desktop. From a user perspective, these applications are integrated seamlessly—looking, feeling, and behaving like local applications.
