Question : Windows 2008 terminal hardwrae spec

Hello,

I working now on a design a terminal services 2008 pilot for one of our customer.
We will have ~100 current user on a terminal that running our application (our applications base on windows dot net using a web services).
Some of the users ~30% will run SQL 2005 reporting services in additional to our applications.
Where can I find more details on recommendation topology and hardware for the servers ?
Since this is a pilot I will use the 120 days of the terminal service license, is there any limitations ?

You do not neccessarily have to have Gateway and Remote Apps, but it is recommended. Since your users will connect via a VPN and not through the web it is not neccesarily needed. Locl Disks are still needed as all users will still have a profile on the TS box. To figure the exact amount you need, find the size of your default profile, multiply that size by 100 then multiply by 2. Then add the required space for Windows and all programs again multiplied by 2 and add to the user space total. This will give you a good rough estimate of the space required for each TS box.

1.If my application e.g. take 100MB of RAM when I need to RAM as 100MB X number of current users ? Concurrent users yes + add 3GB for Windows and background services.

2. For the networking card, , if the user access and the web servies for app access are on the same LAN, how can I take advantage of 2 NIC? The network cards can be bridged effectively with network load balancing, doubling available inbound/outbound bandwidth.
