HP Netserver & Microsoft Terminal Server 4.0

Hewlett-Packard Company 5
Processors
In the TSE environment, all users contend for the same processors. In this
environment a single CPU-intensive application can adversely effect the
performance of all users on the system.
As expected, our results also show that as the CPUs become saturated,
performance deteriorates significantly and client sessions can become starved.
As a result, solutions consisting of well behaved, predictable applications (e.g.,
order entry applications) are ideally suited for this environment.
The following table contains general guidelines, for the number of users that
can be supported by on a sample set of HP NetServer configurations.

Resource requirements can vary significantly depending on the application mix
and client usage pattern. Therefore, whenever possible, HP recommends
sizing the server using the targeted application environment.
