IBM System x3950 and Microsoft Windows Terminal Server Performance Analysis

Overview The IBM System x3950 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition take full advantage of the Microsoft Terminal Server enhancements for the 64-bit environment. Running an artificial Terminal Server benchmark on an IBM System x3950 with four Dual-Core Intel Xeon 7040 processors allowed to support 630 simultaneously connected, working users - more than double the number of users practically possible on a typical 32-bit system. This white paper demonstrates the capabilities of the IBM System x3950 and presents the benchmark test results and system recommendations for running Windows Terminal Services on x64-based versions of Windows Server 2003 on the IBM System x3950 platform.
