Disadvantages are the high data load and possible higher costs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8220;0&#8243; back_color=&#8220;colour-208649&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8220;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8220;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8220;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8220;0&#8243; z_index=&#8220;0&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8220;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is a terminal server?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]A terminal server is <strong>a server or network device that can<\/strong> make <strong>connections to multiple client systems<\/strong> to<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">connect to a LAN network without a modem or network interface. In effect, it acts like your own computer, even though you can access it remotely.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=&#8220;1197&#8243; caption=&#8220;yes&#8220; media_width_percent=&#8220;100&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8220;h1&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Advantages and disadvantages of desktop virtualisation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Advantages of terminal servers<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>More flexibility for employees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Direct access to the workplace is no longer tied to the desk, but is possible from anywhere and at any time via the virtual desktop.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>More security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: IT security is now focused on a single device. In addition, server systems can be better secured, as backup, firewall and security policies only need to be implemented centrally.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Less effort<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">iT staff only have to maintain and update this one device.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Uncomplicated outsourcing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: The location and maintenance of the terminal server can also be outsourced to an external partner. This keeps the hardware investment low, flexible and gives you the option of buying some IT services externally.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Disadvantages of terminal servers<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Large data load and high latencies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">because only the image is usually transmitted at a few KB\/s between a thin client and a terminal server, most connections are sufficient. It is somewhat more problematic if the users are to be able to copy data to the terminals or print something <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Online constraint for workstations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">if the server is not located in your own building, nothing works without the Internet because client and server can no longer communicate with each other. In order not to slow down work, employees can work from their home office or via hotspots, or a second internet connection can be provided. It should also be taken into account that there is no or very poor access from the train or on the plane. Then you can at least set up the Office package, including Outlook, locally on the end device, but this softens the overall concept somewhat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Higher server costs<\/b>: High availability and performance, perhaps even 3D graphics performance, are the requirements for a server for desktop virtualisation. You can rent a ready-made solution from a cloud provider; the high level of standardisation at the provider usually reduces the investment costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8220;0&#8243; back_color=&#8220;colour-208649&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8220;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8220;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8220;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8220;0&#8243; z_index=&#8220;0&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8220;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The costs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Virtualised desktops are<strong> not necessarily cheaper than classic server-client models<\/strong>. In addition to the good server components, there is the licence for the use of desktop virtualisation. On the other hand, you can save on the client side because you don&#8217;t necessarily need strong devices, but weaker ones that are much cheaper. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If, for example, you don&#8217;t have your own IT department that can take care of the administration of a powerful terminal server, this can also be done by an external partner &#8211; for example as a managed service. Central administration saves costs.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=&#8220;1198&#8243; caption=&#8220;yes&#8220; media_width_percent=&#8220;50&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8220;h1&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perfect for companies with multiple locations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Terminal servers are indeed <strong>an exciting alternative to a sea of office computers<\/strong>. Employees are thus more mobile and flexible, can do their work faster and need to ask the IT department for advice less often. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not only corporations can afford this technology, small and medium-sized enterprises should also consider the advantages of desktop virtualisation. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most important advantage is certainly that <strong>work<\/strong> can be done <strong>regardless of location<\/strong><\/span>; the technology is ideal for companies with multiple locations. Centralised management is also perfect for streamlining the business, simplifying the set-up of new employees and managing access rights and software access.
