Terminal Services is a reasonable solution for heavy hardware requirements

As noted earlier, Sage Master Builder Version 14 expects much stronger computing power than prior versions. A company may be faced with a significant investment to upgrading RAM and Processors on all the machines on which SMB Version 14 is to be run.

One alternative is to switch to using Windows Terminal Services. I'm not a technical network whiz, but in a nutshell, with Terminal Services, a single powerful server runs SMB for all users in the company. The users access the server over the network using more modest computers, sending keyboard and mouse commands to the server and receiving back display images from the server. All actual processing is done on the server and very little is expected of the remote computer's processor and resources.

Setting up a Terminal Services server is a bit complicated and requires a competent network consultant, but the return on this investment can make it worthwhile. Terminal Services Servers can be configured to permit workers outside the office, working from home, a field office trailer or a branch office, to access the power and information of Sage Master Builder just like workers in the main office.
