The most obvious limitation of the system is that Terminal Services is slicing the base server system’s resources into multiple desktop sessions (known as Multiuser Windows). The Microsoft Terminal Service implementation also has the ability to set up a gateway to direct the remote connection to a slave desktop workstation. Originally called Terminal Services Connection Broker, the Remote Desktop Connection Broker got a new name and a significant set of enhancements as part of a bridge technology that saw a move from slaved desktops and time-sliced terminal sessions origins to a true virtual desktop system by leveraging the hypervisor virtualization technologies that first emerged as Microsoft Virtual PC (which ran as an application on top of a Windows operating system). This eventually became the Microsoft hypervisor that became an integral part of Windows Server® 2008 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-V).

The Internet is evolving and new technologies to meet the requirements of current and future services are currently under research and development. One of these technologies that have gained tremendous attention to deliver services through the Internet is cloud computing. Virtualization is considered as a key enabler for cloud computing because it allows deploying multiple virtual servers over the same physical server. Cloud computing operators use the hypervisor to implement procedure of virtualization. The most popular hypervisors are Xen, KVM, VMware, and Hyper-V [1,2]. Xen is a hypervisor used for public cloud project and adopted by Rackspace (Rackspace) and Bluemix (IBM). To deploy a private cloud, KVM hypervisor is used and adopted by Amazon Web Services (Amazon), OpenStack project (RedHat, HP, AT&T). VMware and Microsoft use their own hypervisor named VMware (VMware) and Hyper-V (Microsoft) [3,4]. The hypervisor works by dividing the physical machine's hardware resources into multiple isolated execution environments.

The products to be potentially considered include VMware ESXi, Oracle VM Server/XEN, and Microsoft Hyper-V standalone server since the market offer is rather limited. After trying the available products over several weeks we found that the most suitable alternative for the specific deployment was VMware ESXi. The product has the widest and most generic operation system support among the considered options. The provider of this system is also the only one that is independent of an in-house operating system product.
