 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.

Building a Windows MultiPoint system Selecting a hardware solution Selecting a CPU Sizing RAM and hard drives Choosing other peripherals System configurations Two different direct-connect and one LAN option Hardware selection considerations 11 May 2011  Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved. For Partner use only.

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.

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.

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 C = 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.

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. 17 For additional information, refer to the MultiPoint Server 2011 Planning Guide, available at launch.
