Hello All,
Short explanation:
We use thin clients to run a Java application (Pas-X). This application is installed on a terminal server.
With an RDP session to this terminal server and then launching the application provides fast response times.
If we start on the same thin client the same application by RemoteApp on this terminal server, the application has slow response times.
I've done a lot of testing with information found on the internet. Like settings for RDP, gpedit, registry settings and RemoteFX (where applicable in our situation).
The difference in speed remained the same in ratio as indicated for RDP (between 2 and 3 seconds) and RemoteApp (between 5 and 7 seconds). Everything on a fast internal network without performance issues.
The question:
Why this difference between these two methods? What can we tweak to not have this difference?
As far as I know RemoteApp is simply using the RDP protocol.
Are there alternatives that are also reasonable in costs (we have already several thin clients).
Detailed explanation:
Thin client: Dell Wyse 3290 with 32-bit Windows 7 Embedded SP1 (7601), 4GB mem (2.88 Gb used), Celeron 1.58 GHz. RDP version 8.1 (6.3.9600).
Terminal Server: Windows 2008 R2 Standard SP1 (Virtual VMware), 8 GB mem, one CPU with service role: Remote Desktop Session Host. RDP version 8.1 (6.3.9600).
RemoteApp is required. We need trace-ability of the workplace. Also the application then automatically selects the appropriate production unit.
With response times we are talking about the time it takes between entering data (into the next field). You can imagine if this is done with a scanner and you have to wait for 7 seconds, it is not workable.
When performing these same test on a laptop then RemoteApp and RDP session have both a fast response times!
Thanks in advance for assisting.
