2. One computer, multiple users • Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 provides three low cost station choices in the classroom: • Direct video connections + USB2.0 hubs / keyboards / mice • USB multi-function devices that virtualize video and HID devices over USB • LAN-connected remote clients. • A Windows desktop session is created for each user, mapped to their station. • Users log in with named or generic user accounts; desktop settings follow the user from station to station. • With all sessions running locally, performance can be comparable to running normal workloads on individual computers.

12. Hardware selection considerations • When selecting system hardware components, keep in mind these factors: • Target price range of your complete solution. • Customer usage scenarios, such as: • Multi-media applications. • Microsoft Office applications. • Browsing the Internet. • Number of users who will be using the system simultaneously. • Purchase and support arrangements you will have with hardware providers. Note: To support a larger number of simultaneous users, and for use of system-intensive applications, plan for more computing power for your host computer.  Microsoft Corporation.

15. Selecting a CPU • As a multiple-user environment, Windows MultiPoint Server is CPU intensive because all users share the host computer’s CPU. • Some tasks, such as multimedia applications (for example, video playback or video-editing software), have higher processing demands. • Select a CPU and balanced system configuration that can handle the processing and load requirements for the number of users and types of usage scenarios that need to be supported. • Windows MultiPoint Server system benefits from using multiple CPU cores and / multiple threads per core: • Please consult the capacity guidelines on the next slide for an indication of number of users and workloads that can be supported by different processor types. • We strongly recommend testing your specific combination of hardware, software, users and workloads as part of your deployment planning process. • Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 requires a 64-bit processor. • In addition, the CPU must meet the system requirements for Windows Server 2008 R2. For additional information, refer to the MultiPoint Server 2011 Planning Guide, available at launch.  Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved. For Partner use only.

16. Host computer recommendations • These recommendations represent a rough guideline. Actual sizing requirements depend on the particular workload and hardware. • Always validate sizing using your own applications and hardware. 1- 2C = 2 cores, 4C = 4 cores, 6C = 6 cores, MT = Multithreading 2- Video testing was performed using 360p H.264 video at its native resolution. 3- RemoteFX, or equivalent technology for RDP, is required when 15 – 20 remotely connected thin clients running full motion video within their session.  Microsoft Corporation.

17. Choosing other station peripherals • A maximum of five USB 2.0 peripherals can be attached to a single USB 2.0 hub for a station. • The maximum number of USB 2.0 devices that can be supported per station: • One keyboard. • One mouse. • Up to two USB 2.0 drives or other USB 2.0 mass storage devices (for example: USB 2.0 flash drives, external hard disk drives, digital cameras). • One audio subsystem consisting of an output device such as headphones and an input device such as a microphone.
