so that the user needs to log in only once in order to be connected to multiple blade workstations. This paper first provides an overview of the HP Blade Workstation Solution, as well as other HP remote desktop solutions. Next, the SAM architecture is presented, followed by a description of the SAM - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 3
. To support multiple users, multiple copies of Windows can be run on a single server, each in their own virtualized OS environment. As with blade workstations and CCI, low-cost client computers are used to view and interact with the desktop sessions.

resources supported by SAM consist of blade workstations, blade PCs, the virtual desktop infrastructure, and client computers, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2.

for multiple monitors-RGS sends the complete frame buffer of the blade workstation to the client computer. For example, the HP ProLiant xw460c Blade Workstation supports a frame buffer (and Windows desktop) that can be configured up to 5120 x 1024 pixels, equivalent to four 1280 x 1024 monitors - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 6
allow optimization of the HP Blade Workstation Solution, including: Static and dynamic resource assignments-SAM supports two types of blade workstations. Furthermore, with a multi-monitor client computer, SAM will automatically position the user's windows on the client computer monitors based - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 7
to the task performed by the failed unit. This feature works for both static and dynamic connections, maximizing both the uptime of the blade workstation solution and the user's productivity. • Automatic client aggregation-The HP Blade Workstation Solution, in concert with RGS, allows multiple - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 8

to the user, stock.trader. Figure 7. Two blade workstations are associated with the user stock.trader. Step 2: Map blade workstations to a particular monitor layout In Figure 8, each of the blade workstations is mapped to a particular monitor. The blade workstation SAM-BL32 is mapped to the left - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 11
of these configuration steps is that, when user stock.trader makes a connection from the specified client computer, the desktop sessions from the two blade workstations will be mapped to the two monitors per the specified layout. The final step is to actually make the connection, as described next. - HP Xw460c | Session Allocation Manager 2.1 -- Optimizing your HP Blade Workstati - Page 12
has been entered into the SAM administration tool, the SAM Client is used to make the connection from the client computer to the two blade workstations- the user clicks Connect to establish this connection, as shown in Figure 10.
