Maintenance costs are kept low because the operating system running on the server is updated for all users at the same time.

Adding new users is extremely cheap, since you don't have to run a new virtual machine and a new operating system instance. Users normally don't have administrative rights on the terminal server, so they can be managed centrally. The advantage of this approach is control, scalability and greatly reduced management costs. These virtual desktop instances are a natural fit for Linux, since Linux and the X-Windows system were created and developed with the idea of running such a massive number of separate graphical sessions on a single host. 'Virtual NoMachine desktops' are new X-Windows sessions created by a NoMachine Linux Terminal Server product on a Linux server. Even a low-end dual-core computer with enough RAM can run tens of virtual desktops to provide all your users with their own personal workspace, each one running independently on the same server, and lets you configure what each individual user gets, in terms of desktop environment and applications. NoMachine Terminal Server is designed to let you create hundreds of virtual Linux desktops on a single physical computer (or a Linux VM, if you prefer), as many as you can get on the server. NoMachine's Terminal Server family was released as an innovative iteration of the well-known NX Terminal Server System, and now in its 8th edition continues to take NX technology to the next level with its succession of commended new features, capabilities and enhancements.
