Client Solutions

Microsoft Terminal Server supports a full range of client choices including
Windows-based Terminals (WBTs), Palmtop PCs, NetPCs, and PCs. This
flexibility allows customers to select the client technology that best meets their
needs. HP, as a leading provider of both client and server technology, is
uniquely positioned to offer a full range of client/server solutions for the
Microsoft Terminal Server market.
Our tests have shown that the type of client (i.e., WBT, NetPC, or PC) is not a
significant factor when sizing the server. In order to illustrate this result the
same test script was run on both a PC configuration and a WBT configuration.

The next three charts illustrate that server behavior (i.e., performance and
resources utilization) does not vary significantly with a change of client
technology.
The following chart shows the average elapsed time recorded during 1, 2 and 3
client runs using the HP Vectras and HP Windows-based Terminals.
