I have a client that wants to run 600 remote desktop sessions. I need to know what specs for the server I will need.<br />
<br />
300 of the sessions will be on the local lan the other 300 connections willbe from a remote site and for that i need to know what bandwidth will i need for the sessions.<br />
<br />
the application they will run on the server is just a small educational database based application. <br />
<br />
application specs is 256mb ram needed and 1ghzz processor.

Remote Desktop Hardware Specs

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
