From the Microsoft Softgrid Terminal Servers section: Eliminate the need for server silos, reduce server farms, and cut operational costs for managing the remaining servers, thereby dramatically increasing the ROI on your terminal server farm. Server growth is a costly issue for organizations that rely on terminal services. To avoid post-installation application conflicts, the applications must be tested up front to determine which applications will collide and then must be separated and run on different silos – a time-consuming and costly proccess. Servers are routinely underutilized because each server is locked in to a specific configuration, capable of serving only a limited set of non-conflicting applications. In fact, utilization at just 25% of capacity is typical. Often, 20 servers are required to support 1,000 users. SoftGrid for Terminal Services completely changes this dynamic. SoftGrid's application virtualization allows any application can run alongside any other – even applications that normally conflict with each other, multiple versions of the same application, and applications that were previously incapable of running under Terminal Services. This eliminates the need for silos and significantly improves server utilization. As a result, the number of servers needed in a farm is much lower, operational costs for managing the remaining servers is reduced, and the ROI on the server farm is dramatically increased. There's two whitepapers on this page as we: the SoftGrid for Terminal Services Fact Sheet and the Best Practices for Integrating Microsoft SoftGrid with Microsoft Terminal Services and Citrix Presentation Server Check it out here.
