Subject: [THIN] Citrix WAN design - the ultimate design

HI

I have the fortunate situation where I have the opportunity to redesign our company WAN links / Citrix design. Is there a best practice for numerous small branch offices (10 - 40 users)? We have 30 sites around the country connected via frame relay links. If you had the opportunity to design your farm from new how would you do it??. Application use is fairly simple (Office, Outlook etc). Im not looking for assistance on Citrix farm numbers, more high level.. This is what Im thinking:

4Mb WAN links from Head Office to all sites (direct, not via other branches)
Centralised Print Server in Head Office
Citrix Presentation Server 4.5
Tricerat ScrewDrivers for Printing

Would this be a good start? Would anyone add Citrix WANScalers also or would 4Mb links be sufficient for sites with 40 users or less?

Am I on the right track?

Thanks
Ang
