Talk:Platform Performance

Microsoft changed the name of Windows Terminal Server (WTS) to Remote Desktop Services (RDS).

Also, we should add text to this Citrix section explaining the benefits of a 64bit OS over 32bit OS: http://wiki.gis.com/wiki/index.php/Platform_Performance#Windows_Terminal_Server_Platform_Sizing

Platform Performance
Excellent comment.

64bit OS is an important requirement to leverage the higher capacity of new hardware platform technology on all platform tier. As compute capacity of available commodity platforms continues to grow, it is becoming more important to address memory requirements.

My first priority is to update all System Design Strategies chapters on this wiki site, and once this is complete my focus will shift toward expanding critical chapters with these type of questions. There are several new areas to address, including virtual servers and cloud computing, and understanding memory requirements becomes more of an issues as we address these alternative deployment patterns.
