I was talking with my buddy
Gabe last
night and he made some interesting comments about load-balanced Terminal Server
2003 environments. We were talking about the article I wrote last week
discussing hardware load-balancing solutions for pure Terminal Server
environments. Gabe pointed out that my old-standby design practice of "a lot of
little servers" wouldn't work in a pure Terminal Server 2003 environment due to
the fact that the session directory requires Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Edition, and that
costs $3,000 (after subtracting the value of the included CALs).
It's a really good point. I guess in pure Terminal Server environments,
people will be better off building quad-processor servers that can each support
300-500 users instead of blades or 1U servers that can only support 50-200
users.
