Comprehensive Desktop Search in Terminal Server Environments

Terminal servers are now commonly known as “cloud” and are already being used in many large companies. They allow worldwide access to data stored on a central host via an internet connection, making it possible to access corporate data remotely, for example, via tablet or smartphone.

Advantage: Working via Terminal Servers Is Practical

This reduces the costs for individual workstations, as expensive software no longer needs to be purchased for every client. The software is installed on a central host, and the client only receives graphical information from the terminal server, which it displays to the user. This means the operating system only needs to be installed once, and data storage also occurs on the host. Terminal servers are primarily provided today through Citrix XenApp® 6 or Microsoft® Remote Desktop Services (RDS). 

Disadvantage: The Desktop Search Doesn’t Work

The big advantage of a terminal server lies in its high user density. However, high user density often means an enormous amount of documents and other files. When searching for specific information, the search function is often the only solution. However, processing search queries in these systems frequently leads to significant problems, as the search simply does not work effectively.
