[THIN] Re: VMM in Sept. Unbundled from SC no SA says MS Rep.

Ø MS really wants to kick VMware in the nuts

Wow, MS is good at nut kicking!! This comes the very day after VMWare started positioning their value as in the management tools and not the Hypervisor. Guess what? Today MS announces their Virtual Manager will be available earlier and cheaper than first expected.

VMWare, consider yourself kicked in the nuts. I can only think of one company who has withstood the MS nut kick and that is Citrix, now they are buddies against a common competitor- who might that be?? VMWare !! OUCH!!!!!!!!

The balloon driver is actually called the 'Memory Control Driver', and
you can choose to not install it as part of the vmware tools. The
settings at the bottom are ESX host configuration settings, located in
'Advanced Settings' on the 'Configuration' tab of a host in Virtual
Center.

Hope this helps...ormond

Subject: [THIN] Virtualizing Citrix

Hi all,
I see all these messages going back and forth about virtualization, but
not much information on how Citrix/TS behaves in a virtualized
environment.
A tech./sales person from Dell came yesterday and told me that I could
probably replace 7 of my PowerEdge 2850 with one beefed up PowerEdge
R900 and virtualize the 7 Citrix servers. I find that kind of hard to
believe.
Each of my 2850's can handle about 30 to 40 users concurrently. I just
don't think that an R900 could handle 200 + users with virtual Citrix
servers.

Is anyone out there using VMWare to virtualize Citrix servers in a
production environment?
What kind of hardware?
How many virtual servers per physical server?
How many users?

I would greatly appreciate your advice as I am new to VMWare.

[THIN] Re: Virtualizing Citrix

I think the safe way to approach this is to NOT oversubscribe RAM and CPU. That is, take a big and powerful box and carve it up in direct relationships. I.e. if you have 8 Cores, perhaps te 4 machines with 2 CPUs each, if you have 16GB of RAM, give each of the 4 machines, 4GB. etc

TS hosted under VMware is certainly doable, however even if you can replace 7 physical boxes with one beefy ESX box, for fault tolerance purposes you should certainly consider getting more than just one ESX box, and it's worthwhile investment with multiple ESX servers to get Virtual Infrastructure as well.

Hardware still fails, and if your one beefy box goes offline taking all 7 virtual servers down, you're dead in the water. With Virtual Infrastructure, and additional ESX systems, those 7 virtual servers could auto fail over to other online ESX servers while you repair your downed hardware.

We support about 350 staff on virtualized win2k3 citrix 4.0 systems with vmware 3.5. We host these on HP Proliant BL465c G1 blades, with 4 cpus, and 16gb. At this point we're running about 10 virtual TS servers per ESX host in a 4 server vmware HA cluster, we've room to add more TS virtuals if needed.

Depending on application set, your mileage may vary.

On another note, although our virtualized TS systems have certainly served us well, changing needs in our application requirements is leading me to look more into VDI type solutions to supply our app set to our staff members. On our TS servers, our apps are fighting each other for CPU a bit too much for my liking, and we really can't silo off apps anymore than we have. So it seems to me a VDI solution where each user / app has their own isolated winxp virtual space to work from (vs a shared TS environment) may be a better fit...we'll see...just starting into the design and testing of this.

[THIN] Re: Virtualizing Citrix

An R900 is a HEFTY box. 4 sockets, all quad-core capable, 128 GB of RAM maximum. I'm sure the Dell person was assuming a loaded up box with all 4 processors in it and gobs of RAM, a rather expensive venture to get into all at once. I can see that box being able to handle 200+ users depending on application. I virtualized a few remaining Citrix servers from an old environment and it's been a smooth sailing experience. They are very low use since it was a turndown of something no longer used, but if I get into a similar Citrix environment in the future, I'll go straight into VMware with it.

Downside to that kind of setup is it's a lot of eggs in one box.That setup wouldn't sit all that well with me personally. I'd rather go with a blade setup with a lot of separate blades for similar (maybe less) money and be able to spread that love around a little. You'll still gain environmental benefits and increase capacity at the same time, while still maintaining a level of hardware redundancy.

All that being said, there's nothing wrong with those PE2850's, even if they are first gen units. A couple of my primary VMware servers run on those boxes still, chowing away just dandy.

Actually this may be possible. .FLV files can be played with the FLV Player. If Jan publishes FLV Player and selects the extensions for the published app then she can use PNAgent to register the mime types on the client side. The .FLV file then acts just like a .DOC or .XLS file when redirected from client to server.

For server to client. The answer is no. Server to client maintly relates to redirection internet explorer URLs to the client browser.

Is it possible to redirect file types, such as "*.flv" to the client using Citrix's Server to Client Content Redirection?

I'm running PS4.0 32bit on W2k3.

the server piece is Wildfire or Openfire or something like that. It's an open source jabber server. Will run on Windows.

It is completely internal.
Not sure of the Cost , but it may be free... At least the client is

You could roll your own IM server. Take a look at jabber.

If you have something to host a VM with. There are plenty of free IM
jabber appliances. For example...

jabber supports many different clients. Not sure how well the clients
work on TS though.
