Terminal Services are a Windows component, which allows the user to access and utilize programs which are installed on a remote computer. The data exchange is done through a network connection (local or Internet connection) using the RDP protocol. This protocol encrypts the data transferred through the network, compresses information and assures the normal work of the local computer. Put simply, this system is a powerful computer (server) and many people work on it simultaneously. They use terminal clients which can be low-powered computers, even without operation system installed. It is enough for these people to connect to the terminal server and to maintain RDP protocol.

Disadvantages of Terminal Server

Dependence on one computer all employees of the company with access to the terminal, work on one computer and when this computer has problems, none of the employees will be able to work. That is why, it is recommendable that no savings are made at the expense of purchasing terminal server, so that it can be safe and repaired quickly, to be monitored and taken care of regularly. Low quality of sound and image when playing videos the terminal connection has limitations in respect of multimedia. The sound produced with RDP protocol is transmitted only in one direction. It can receive sound (to be heard), but cannot send, i.e. you cannot have a working microphone on a terminal client. There is possibility for transmission of images to a terminal client (video playing) but the quality is not very good. The main idea of the office terminal is work, not entertainment.
