Application Servers White Papers

For MGM MIRAGE, Microsoft Terminal Services Enabled Faster Deployment, Lower TCO, Better Tech Support, and $2 Million Annually in Reduced Acquisition and Support Costs

Tags:

Overview In 1998, Bellagio, Las Vegas' newest casino-hotel was preparing to open. The scale of the resort-casino presented new challenges to IT both in resource management and deployment issues. End users experiencing technical difficulties would need to wait as much as 20 minutes for IT staff to travel from the computer center to front-line positions, which inconvenienced customers and wasted employee time. In addition, the limited timeframe for deploying the 2,600-computer network prior to opening the property created other challenges. In an effort to meet the deadline and improve efficiencies throughout the system, IT turned to Microsoft Terminal Services, part of Microsoft Windows 2000 Server.
