Any citrix experts ?
LockedI am just embarking on a new citrix project for my site.
I’m sure we’ve all been there trying to type in key words in google to find what we want, and only managing to hit the same webpage over and over again.
I would be grateful for people simply to post their links here that I can then continue my research to answer these main questions. Alternatively if you can answer them directly or link to a doc directly even better !
1) The big sizing question. I’d prefer to get a good estimate on this, from what I’ve read so far 50 POWER USERS is the most I can expect from a Win2k machine because of its limitation in memory usage. So I planned on purchasing 1 server and running a pilot.
However I need to monitor the end user response on the above to prove that 50 users is too much or ok for the spec on server I plan to buy. So I am looking for “CITRIX RESPONSE MONITORING TOOL”
2) Load balancing / farms. I have been told that for a farm to work I need a SQL server. In addition I have heard that the load balancing is not all that good compared to the load balacing software that NCD selll ? Any views ??
3) Cost justification model. You know the one where I say how many helpdesk calls I recive etc.
4) General tools and utils to control desktop access. I normally use scripts and freewar for these tasks
