I am going to buy a server for terminal sessions. It must be able to serve about 500 concurrent sessions without any significant impact on performance. Each session will run a quiet simple app with low CPU resource consumption.
Today I am considering the following configuration: 4x 12 core AMD Opteron 6300 series with a ton of RAM of course.
This is my first project and I don't have any experience with hardware platforms. So i am wondering would that be enough to handle this workload? Or it will be an overkill? Would the Intel Xeon E5 dual CPUs perform this task better?
I have limited budget so i am trying to find the most cost effective solution and any help/advice will be much appreciated.
Thank You!
For that many connections, I would look at using something like VMWare or Microsoft App-V to stream the application if all you need is one app. – Austin T French – 2014-05-30T11:17:24.277
