Scaling Terminal Servers
The Challenge
The Solution
Would it surprise you to know that there may be hundreds of megabytes of wasted memory on your terminal servers? RTO’s performance management software, TScale, dynamically manages your memory and CPU resources to eliminate these inefficiencies, improving application performance and user response rates especially during peak load periods. There are two basic ways that application performance can be enhanced—by optimization and by shaping. TScale's Application Optimization settings maximize application performance through better memory usage. The Application Shaping settings maximize application performance through better use of CPU resources. More specifically, both the Basic Virtual Memory Capacity and the Advanced Memory Manager optimizations make a huge impact on improving server capacity. With Basic VM Capacity, TScale changes where DLLs load in memory to avoid memory conflicts and operating system relocations. As a result, applications run more efficiently, use less virtual memory, and generate less page file activity. The Advanced Memory Manager offers significant memory savings with its thread-based optimizations. TScale automatically detects which applications are multi-threaded, for example .NET applications, and would benefit from this type of optimization. By improving the use of virtual memory and CPU cycles on each server, RTO TScale allows you to support more users per server. Getting more users per server directly improves the Total Cost of Operation (TCO) of your server farm, allowing you to avoid unnecessary additional expenditures on server hardware. And if the increased server capacity TScale provides you results in server consolidation, powered down servers can be repurposed for other projects, sold off, or simply saved until additional capacity is needed, further reducing current infrastructure costs. TScale gives you the system tools you need to overcome the challenges of delivering high levels of application reliability and performance while accommodating server scalability for peaks in application demand. Consequently, TScale delivers consistent application performance that meets the business demands of your organization. Now get an average of 50% boost in the number of users per server with Version 4.5 running under Windows Server 2008! With RTO TScale®, you can scale the number of users on leading terminal servers such as Citrix XenApp™, Microsoft® Remote Desktop Services or Terminal Services and Ericom PowerTerm® WebConnect for a wide variety of published applications. The latest version of TScale supports Microsoft® Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2008 R1 and R2. Review the graphic below to see how much virtual memory (VM) savings are possible for popular published apps. For a detailed explanation, please download a report we did for Corporate Synergies!
