Remote Desktop Services (RDS), known as Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 and earlier, [1] is one of the components of Microsoft Windows that allow a user to initiate and control an interactive session [2] on a remote computer or virtual machine over a network connection.
The term "failover", although probably in use by engineers much earlier, can be found in a 1962 declassified NASA report. [2] The term "switchover" can be found in the 1950s [3] when describing '"Hot" and "Cold" Standby Systems', with the current meaning of immediate switchover to a running system (hot) and delayed switchover to a system that needs starting (cold).
Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) is a high-performance, low-latency, reliable, connectionless protocol for delivering datagrams. It is developed by Oracle Corporation . It was included in the Linux kernel 2.6.30 which was released on 9 June 2009.
Remote Desktop Connection (RDC, also called Remote Desktop or just RD) [1] is the client application for RDS. The program has the filename mstsc.exe and in Windows 2000 and prior, it was known as Microsoft Terminal Services Client (MSTSC or tsclient). [2] [3] It allows a user to remotely log into a networked computer running the Remote Desktop ...
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft Corporation which provides a user with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection. [1] The user employs RDP client software for this purpose, while the other computer must run RDP server software.
HA clustering remedies this situation by detecting hardware/software faults, and immediately restarting the application on another system without requiring administrative intervention, a process known as failover. As part of this process, clustering software may configure the node before starting the application on it.
Computer clustering capability with failover capability, for complete redundancy of hardware and software. Dynamic software updating to avoid the need to reboot the system for a kernel software update, for example Ksplice under Linux. Independent management processor for serviceability: remote monitoring, alerting and control.
Load balancing can be useful in applications with redundant communications links. For example, a company may have multiple Internet connections ensuring network access if one of the connections fails. A failover arrangement would mean that one link is designated for normal use, while the second link is used only if the primary link fails.
