Benefits of Using Terminal Server
What is a Terminal Server?
A Microsoft Windows 2008 R2/2012 R2/2016/2019 Server with Terminal Services activated. This configuration allows for uniPoint Server and Client installations directly on the server. uniPoint is also fully compliant with Remote Desktop Services.
Speed (300 – 400% Faster!)
uniPoint program files and database files are loaded once on the Terminal Server, and then run directly from the server. Consequently, workstation CPU and RAM become irrelevant, while speed is enhanced. Data access significantly increases due to the fact that data is not travelling down the network to be processed.
Upgrades (Only required on server)
When uniPoint upgrades are installed it takes place on just one computer — Terminal Server. Workstations do not require separate upgrades.
Maintainability (Only required on server)
Remote Desktop Client (used to connect to Terminal Server) loads on Windows 95/98/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10, which removes the need for debugging workstation drivers, settings, or application conflicts. Avoids performing the installs and upgrades on multiple workstations.
Lower Cost of Ownership
Stop investing in newer and faster workstations and consolidate expenditure in one centralized area. Reduces your overall maintenance and support from multiple workstations to one centralized server.
Remote Access (Work from anywhere)
One of the greatest advantages of Terminal Server is the ability to remotely access and run uniPoint via a remote desktop connection. Work in real-time speed from any location with internet access.
