This is the organization of the scheme of work of the network information system, allowing to optimize financial costs for building a powerful, flexible and reliable information system (IS)
Terminal Server Operation Scheme
Advantages of the terminal solution
Quick deployment - a workplace in 10 minutes
Simply plug the terminal into a power outlet and the settings will be automatically downloaded from the server. You can deploy and manage all user desktops and applications from the administrator's workstation using deployment and management software such as Altiris
Improving corporate data security
Thin clients do not have any devices for storing and recording information by the user. Due to the fact that absolutely all information is stored on the server and is not transmitted over the network, the risk of data theft and virus attacks is reduced.
For increased security, you can use additional tools, such as a smart card reader, USB key or biometric fingerprint reader, which are connected to the terminal and provide a higher and more complex level of user authentication
Centralization of administration
The absence of software or hardware maintained by the administrator in thin clients eliminates the need for its periodic maintenance, diagnostics and updates. There is no need for antivirus programs at workstations. All application software for users is located on the server and controlled by the system administrator
Reducing investment in IT infrastructure
Reduction of initial costs for purchasing user computers due to minimal configuration requirements; Thin clients are used as work machines, the cost of which is several times less than a full-fledged PC
Reduced total cost of ownership
Reduction in the cost of operating a workstation (up to 80%) due to centralized administration and a radical reduction in the cost of working time for servicing user workstations, a reduction in the cost of training employees - highly qualified specialists will not be required to support workstations
Saving electricity
A typical thin client consumes on average 50 times less electricity than an average computer system unit. Let's imagine a typical office with 50 workstations. The power consumption of one standard computer system unit is 300 W, totaling 15 kW.
To maintain the required temperature in the summer, standard split systems with an efficiency of about 2.5 are used. Thus, we still need to spend 6 kW of electricity to remove the heat generated by the computer system units. A total of 21 kW. Now let's imagine an office with terminals at the workstations. The terminals will consume 300 W of electricity for the entire office, the required office cooling capacity is 120 W, totaling about 0.5 kW. As a result, we will save 20.5 kW of electricity per hour of office operation.
An excellent result! And if you take into account the costs of the air conditioners themselves, their installation and maintenance...
Reducing modernization costs
No need to upgrade computer equipment at workstations. When using terminal solutions, you need to regularly upgrade not the entire company's computer park, but only one terminal server. And due to the absence of moving parts and low power consumption, the service life of a thin client is several times longer than the service life of a system unit
Reducing Costs on Uninterruptible Power Supplies
A typical thin client consumes on average 50 times less electricity than the average computer system unit. This means that you can use one uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for 10 or more terminal workstations. Even greater savings can be achieved if you use a centralized distribution of clean power for computer equipment in the office - in this case, one or two UPSs will be enough for all office workstations. Thus, the costs of purchasing and servicing UPSs are reduced by tens of times
Reducing local network performance requirements
When thin clients work with a terminal server, applications and data are not transmitted over the network, but rather data is transmitted (RDP protocol) about keystrokes, mouse movements and display updates, which works effectively even on legacy, previous-generation networks. Thanks to this, information system administrators can provide users with a high level of performance, both on wired and wireless networks
Terminal Server — the first step to reducing costs
A terminal system is built on the basis of network technologies and includes a terminal server (usually a group of specialized servers) and workstations associated with it (the latter is more popularly called a thin client).
A terminal system, in simple terms, is a computer network operation scheme that allows you to reduce the cost of purchasing computer equipment and increase the security and flexibility of the information system.
This solution consists of:
A terminal server that performs the computing process instead of workstations. It allows you to use the server's resources to run user applications. Simplifies the administration process, increases security and saves money spent on software and hardware for user computers. Facilitates the organization of remote access to the desktop from anywhere in the world.
Thin clients - compact devices (mini computers) that connect to terminal servers. Thin clients connect to the server providing terminal access via a local network. The computing power of these devices is very weak and is only needed to ensure the transmission of the image of processed information from the server. Therefore, the cost of such devices is several times less than the cost of a full-fledged computer.
