Solution
Results
We found several important system limitations and internal element conflicts after the first testing iterations. After the system analysis, we developed recommendations on ways to solve those problems. The customer was required to solve them on their own, so that we could perform the testing again and solve the set task.
The hardware analysis led to the required number of the terminal servers to allow the system to sustain the maximum load level. The results allowed the customer to organize the servers and ensure continuous function of the IT infrastructure. This was our first big project working with the RDP protocol that gave us a chance to broaden our knowledge in this area.
