Many companies with FoxPro applications uses Windows Terminal Service (RDS in 2008 for Remote Desktop Service).

We have a MRP/ERP system install in many companies using a single DC server with 15-30 users. The application is more Disk intensive than CPU. This is mainly the reason why we run the application on the server...The application is always running on the same machine that contains the storage.

What would you sugest for a company with 60-80 users ?

- A huge terminal server (Dual quad core with maximum memory with a RAID-10) ?
- Two terminal server with a seperate storage....(What king of storage? NAS Fiber channel SAN ???) that can compete with internal storage ???

- Other solutions ??? VMWARE...??? Anything ??
