Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terminal Services is designed to allow remote users to access and use Windows software installed on a server without having to install that software on their own computers. It transfers the processing burden to the server, allowing older or less capable PCs, thin clients, or narrow-bandwidth remote users to efficiently run large or complex Windows applications. Remote Desktop and NetMeeting are both remote access tools, but they do not specifically address the issue of processing power for resource-intensive applications. Grid Computing is a technology used to link geographically dispersed computers to act in a coordinated way to perform large-scale tasks, and is not directly related to addressing the processing power of individual machines.
