Im sorry for the very noobish question, Im not a tech guy but Iv been tasked to gather as much info as I can that could help my company out with a future project.
I work for a small trading company with many of our traders scattered about the country. Given that we are scattered and are currently working on some in house trading programs, we would like to setup a powerful computer at one central point (as close to the trading hub as we can get) and be able to have each trader log in and run their own copy of these programs as needed. We have been currently testing out Virtual systems that we log in through RDC but that requires each having their own account.
I recently heard about "multipoint servers" and was hoping this would work for our needs. As I said we want to setup a pc at one central location, what I guess Im trying to find out is, does multipoint server offer virtual environments without the need for extra hardware like monitors/keyboards/mouse for each user? And can they be logged into through remote desktop or other remote logins? I saw a video involving a classroom where each student had their own hardware minus the actual pc.
If it does offer the virtual environments, what are some of the specs, such as screen resolutions for each desktop and what is the limit on how many personal desktops the pc can run? Im sure Ill have more questions but I think this is a good starting point to even see if this would work for our needs. Thanks
