Hi TS Great Minds!
I am planning to deploy Terminal Services and one of the major goals is to provide high availability for remote access to applications.
What do I have for the deployment:
1) Two physical servers of the same hardware
2) Two Windows Server 2008R2 Enterprise Editions
3) Required number of CALs, of course.
My idea is to deploy at least two farm members with TS RemoteApp on the separate physical machines. In addition to them, I am going to deploy another two (or one) virtual machine with TS Gateway role onboard. For the virtualization I am going to deploy the Hyper-V role on both of the physical machines.
Actually, there are two questions:
1) What is the best practice in arranging TS roles(TS Gateway, TS Session Broker, TS Web Access, TS RemoteApp, TS Licensing)? Which of the roles is recommended to put together on the same machine (virtual, in my case)?
2) What is the best practice to provide high availability for the solution? Should I create a Failover Cluster or NLB for two TS Gateways will be enough (in case I deploy two TS Remote App farm members on the separate physical machines)?
Each of the physical machine have enough performance to support the full workload from the planned number of client connections.
Sorry for the complicated description of my issue (I am a bit limited in English), but I do believe the TS Great Minds will understand the point of my inquiry.
Looking forward to get an advice from you!
Thank you in advance!
