Delivering Applications via Terminal Services
Applications delivered via thin client and terminal services such as Microsoft's Terminal Server and Citrix® Presentation Server® are the ideal computing environment to benefit from Coyote Point's Equalizer load balancing and application acceleration appliances. Applications delivered via a thin client must operate in an environment with high server availability and quick response times. Equalizer appliances meet these needs by intelligently distributing load across the terminal server machine clusters based on server availability and real time performance.
Now fewer servers perform the same workload with quicker response times and guaranteed availability. This eliminates the costs associated with excess servers and high bandwidth utilization and improves the efficiency and application performance by as much as 25%.
Equalizer Delivers:
- Automatic Monitoring of Server Load and Availability
- Increased Productivity by Routing Traffic to Fastest Responding Servers
- Decreased Bandwidth Requirements by Compressing Web Traffic
- Increased Performance of SSL Secure Environments
- Redundant High Availability (HA) Configuration Options
Terminal Servers is a technology designed to provide organizations with a more reliable, more scalable, and more manageable server-based computing platform. Success in this environment is reliant on high server availability and quick response times. But with the application processing taking place on the server, server availability and application performance becomes even more critical. Even minor outages or server failures can leave whole populations of user communities without the ability to function, making Terminal Services a prime environment to reap the benefits of using the Equalizer to load balance the application serving machines (servers).
Equalizer goes beyond the ability monitor application and server health to monitor server load and application response times. In this way if a server becomes unavailable, responds slowly due to load, end user access and productivity are unaffected because traffic is rerouted seamlessly to the best available server to meet the needs of the end user.
Faster SSL and Lower Bandwidth Requirements: When Speed and Security Matter
When terminal server applications require high levels of access security and fast response times to better serve the user community your servers must be running at peak performance. This is accomplished by removing all unnecessary CPU intensive activities that reduce the efficiency of application serving clusters. By moving CPU intensive SSL acceleration and compression of HTTP content from your servers to the Equalizer, businesses benefit from secure and efficient processing of your application traffic. This reduces the number of servers and bandwidth necessary to deliver faster application response to users. The result is end user response times that improve up to 5x while bandwidth requirements plummet as much as 50%.
Application Availability and Performance
To guarantee even higher levels of availability the Equalizer appliance can be configured in a High-Availability configuration with a redundant Equalizer appliance as a backup in hot standby. This ensures users are never impacted by unavailable network resources including individual server outages, application failures or even the unlikely loss of the Equalizer itself.
Coyote Point load balancing appliances deliver high performance, Operating system independent, traffic management solutions that maximize application reliability and availability. The ability to operate independent of operating system and Internet protocol allows network administrators to deliver maximum performance for any mission-critical service or application in any network that requires high availability and fault-tolerance.
