Welcome to Cláudio Rodrigues' Section

Cláudio Rodrigues is a Senior Technical Architect/Consultant based in Ottawa, ON, Canada. He has been deploying Server Based Computing solutions since the OS/2-based, Citrix WinView days (circa 1995). Thanks to his contributions to the terminal services community, he was the first person to ever receive the Microsoft MVP award for Terminal Services.

He was the CEO of Terminal-Services.NET, the company that originally developed tools like WTSGateway Pro and WTSPortal, later acquired by 2X Software Ltd. His main idea was to bring easy to use, reliable and affordable tools to the server based computing market. Cláudio has also worked all over the world doing terminal services deployments and speaking at many different and interesting places.

After leaving 2X in February, 2006, he is now working on new and exciting products and ideas for the TS community. He is also available for consulting work, on-site training, and speaking engagements!

When he is not working or traveling he spends a lot of time with Lucas, Ana, Eliana and his two Pugs and one Mini-Schnauzer. He is also a proud member of the Porsche Club of America. :-)
