Solution Features and Benefits 


  • Load balance terminal session traffic. Across the server farm, and by assuring session persistence.
  • High Availability for Terminal Services
  • SSL VPN / encryption for remote TS access
  • SSL offload

  • Print Control (centrally monitor your entire printer environment)

  • Identity & Access Control

  • Authentication (password, certificate, two-factor, VPN, SSL )

  • SSO (single sign-on) for Windows Terminal Services
  • Encrypted tunnel per application session

  • Configure group access policies


Session Persistence
enables a user to disconnect a session with applications running, either intentionally or because of a network failure, and then reconnect at a later time to the same session with the same applications running.


Load Balancer Devices Can be placed in DMZ and can proxy authentication requests to internal AD FS servers without requiring additional AD FS proxy (WAP) servers. This can help customers save, hardware, software and management costs associated with maintaining additional AD FS proxy servers.

Inspection 
Files / data being posted to the web from terminal server clients (laptops and desktop machines).

 
Browsing Protection 
End users working on a terminal server can safely browse the Web and stay protected against browser exploits and rogue web sites. 

 
Behaviour-Based Detection 
Covers that crucial gap between the first appearance of new malware and the first signature detection being issued for the threat. 

 
Data Compression 
Network (any IP based), portal (HTTP), and application (TCP) traffic, providing better end user performance and bandwidth savings.

 
Cache Cleaning
Ensures that no cached or downloaded data is left behind on the client system.


High Availability / Fail Over
  • Better robustness in failover situations, offloading security processing, and performing intelligent load sharing.
  • Failover situations, offloading security processing, and performing intelligent load sharing

Application Control
Prevents the use of unauthorised applications in Citrix or Windows-based terminal services environments.
 
Audit 
Audit end-users’ files and scripts.

Challenges
  • Users are unable to connect to their previous session, impacting productivity and server performance due to 'stranded' sessions.
  • Inefficient distribution of traffic load is impacting Terminal Services performance.
Solutions
  • Session persistence is provided via interaction with Terminal Services Session Directory Service, allowing users to reconnect to their session with the same applications running
  • Load balancing across the terminal servers in the server farm allows the servers to perform in their power band for peak efficiency



Password Life Cycle Management
Users can access remote applications and web sites through a secure local server. Access is granted using passwords provided by ERPM’s encrypted credentials vault, and activities are documented through built-in session recording systems.
