| If this is anything to go by, there is quite a noticeable difference! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RMTM7vaMnI D From: Nick Smith [mailto:nick@officeanyplace.com] From: thin-bounce@freelists.org [mailto:thin-bounce@freelists.org] On Behalf Of Chad Schneider (IT) Check the videos on youtube......there is definitely a difference in performance and usability between RDP and ICA. Chad Schneider Nick In my humble opinion, there is still a difference and the link between your servers and your client is the crucial bit. For LAN speeds RDP is fine (from a performance viewpoint). Over a satellite link, RDP can be unusable. I did read somewhere that RDP tends to use the link even when nothing is happening. I know when you check an ICA connection, if nothing is happening on the session, then the link isn’t used. Therefore, the number of sessions may be an issue for you. In your situation, the best thing to do is to set up a test and to see if the increase in cost is justified. If it makes an unusable system usable, it might be worth the cost. If it’s a “nice to have” then probably not. Hope this helps Russell Russell Robertson | Virtual Stream | www.virtualstream.co.uk From: thin-bounce@freelists.org [mailto:thin-bounce@freelists.org] On Behalf Of Nick Smith A client of mine is considering moving to Citrix from Vanilla Terminal Services *purely* on the basis of improved performance viewing graphics/PDFs etc. Can anyone give feedback on how much of a difference there is?
