With Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008, Microsoft releases its most powerful centralized application platform ever, offering an impressive array of new capabilities that dramatically improve the administrator and user experiences. The new Terminal Services features provide a substantial upgrade in functionality, performance, and user experience. Terminal Services now provides centralized access to individual applications without the need to provide the whole remote desktop. Applications running remotely are integrated with the local user's desktop - looking, feeling, and behaving like local applications. Organizations can provide more secure access to centralized applications or desktops, and other resources from the Internet, by using HTTPS, without needing to provide access via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or opening up unwanted ports on firewalls. This reduces the complexity needed to provide secure remote access to applications and data for users, partners, or customers. For deployments with several servers, the new load-balancing features provide a simple way to ensure optimal performance by spreading sessions among the least-loaded available resources.
Terminal Services CAL
The Terminal Services functionality is included with the acquisition of a Windows Server 2008 Server License. However, when a user or device accesses a terminal server, that user or device is required to have a TS CAL (in addition to a Windows CAL) in order to be compliant with the licensing terms of the product. A separate TS CAL is required for each user or device that accesses or uses the server software on any server.
User CAL
A Windows Server User CAL permits one user (using any device) to access or use the server software. User CALs are likely to be more cost effective than Device CALs if there are multiple devices per user (for example, a user has a laptop and handheld computer accessing Terminal Services)
