Terminal Services Client
Access License (CAL) is a technology built
into Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server that allows for clients
to run applications remotely. Administrators can also manage the
server remotely with this technology.
The Terminal Server component of Windows Server 2003 builds on the solid
foundation provided by the application server mode in Windows 2000
Terminal Services. Terminal Server lets you deliver Windows-based
applications, or the Windows desktop itself, to virtually any computing
device - including those that cannot run Windows.
Terminal Server can enhance an enterprise's software deployment
capabilities for a variety of scenarios that remain difficult to solve
using traditional application distribution technologies. When users run
an application on Terminal Server, the application execution takes place
on the server, and only keyboard, mouse and display information is
transmitted over the network. Users see only their own individual
sessions, which are managed transparently by the server operating
system, and remain independent of any other client session.
Terminal Server is great for rapidly deploying Windows-based
applications to computing devices across an enterprise - especially
applications that are frequently updated, infrequently used, or hard to
manage. When an application is managed on Terminal Server, and not on
each device, administrators can be certain that users are running the
latest version of the application.
Terminal Server considerably reduces the amount of network bandwidth
required to access data remotely. Using Terminal Server to run an
application over bandwidth-constrained connections, such as dial-up or
shared WAN links, is very effective for remotely accessing and
manipulating large amounts of data because only a screen view of the
data is transmitted, rather than the data itself.
Terminal Server helps users become more productive by enabling access to
current applications on any device - including under-powered hardware
and non-Windows desktops. And because Terminal Server lets you use
Windows anywhere, you can take advantage of extra processing
capabilities from newer, lighter-weight devices such as the Pocket PC.
Terminal Server builds on the foundation of Windows 2000 Terminal
Services by providing organizations with a more reliable, more scalable,
and more manageable server-based computing platform. Terminal Server
offers new options for application deployment, more efficient access to
data over low bandwidth, and enhances the value of legacy and new,
lighter-weight devices. Whether using third-party add-ons or not,
administrators and users will appreciate the new capabilities delivered
by Terminal Server.
