[THIN] Re: Assistance requested...

Not sure I follow?

I am asking some basic questions, trying to compare our fellow healthcare organizations rules, to be sure we are in check with everyone else. So long as you are using compliant rules, I see no issue sharing such information.

Sorry Chad

I can't give you that info other than to say they are stringent. Anyone who
does, please don't include your organization name, lest this cause an RPE
(resume producing event) for you.

Hi People,

 

Provision Network's developers have pushed the boundaries a bit further in the RDP vs ICA story.

 

Patrick Rouse has a YouTube demo that shows what we can do at: 

They've told me that OpenGL and progressive display are next and not too far away. Admittedly what you're seeing is alpha/beta code, but it really shows what can be done.

 

I guess the most relevant point to make to the whole community is that the RDP (ours at any rate) vs ICA story is getting pretty interesting and it's definitely not one-sided anymore.

 

If you're comparing us to Citrix, it's important to note that Provision started by providing software to fix holes in the Citrix product. We may not yet have the core infrastructure to scale as far as Citrix, but we've covered all the pain points that Citrix have largely ignored and we've had them covered for a quite a while.

 

That's why we've got the best UPD solution on the market when you consider stuff like font handling and print quality. That's why we've got application restrictions, profile management, USB PDA support, scriptable time zone assignment, really good bi-directional audio, Softgrid integration etc.

 

Our lead in the VDI race means we support VMware, Parallels Virtuozzo, Virtual Iron, Microsoft Hyper-V and shortly SCVMM. Xen is there but pretty low down on the list of priorities.

 

Of course there's also a single integrated management console because you need to have a single point of contact to manage your virtual desktop infrastructure.

 

We don't do hardware and we don't have a cool name for our product, but we're totally focussed on continual improvement so we'll have the best virtual desktop solution on the market.

 

Watch this space :-)

 

regards,

 

Rick

We have an existing all 32 bit 4.0 farm.  We are adding a new application
and have new 64 bit servers w/lots of memory & processors that we are
installing Citrix on.  If we went with 4.5 then would we need to set up a
separate farm?  I remember that being true for XP and earlier but don't know
if it applies to PM 4.0.  I suppose we could upgrade the 4.0 farm but we
weren't planning on that.

George,

The short answer is that you must use different media.

The longer answer is that Citrix has End-of-life 64 bit PS4.0. I believe
you can still download the installation media from mycitrix but you must
go to some obscure ftp site for the hotfixes.

If possible, avoid starting a new project with 64 bit 4.0.

If you install 4.5, the first to be installed should be the DC's and DataStore.

We have an existing all 32 bit 4.0 farm.  We are adding a new application
and have new 64 bit servers w/lots of memory & processors that we are
installing Citrix on.  If we went with 4.5 then would we need to set up a
separate farm?  I remember that being true for XP and earlier but don't know
if it applies to PM 4.0.  I suppose we could upgrade the 4.0 farm but we
weren't planning on that.

George,

The short answer is that you must use different media.

The longer answer is that Citrix has End-of-life 64 bit PS4.0. I believe
you can still download the installation media from mycitrix but you must
go to some obscure ftp site for the hotfixes.

If possible, avoid starting a new project with 64 bit 4.0.

Does the Presentation Server 4.0 media I've been using to install on 32
bit
Windows 2003 OS servers install on a Windows 2003 64 bit OS or is there
different media I need to download?

Mixing 4.0 and 4.5 is not a problem provided the datastore, data collector, and license server are running 4.5.
