Citrix Performance

We are using Vantage on a Windows 2003 Stn 64-bit Server using Terminal
Services only. The 64-bit edition allows us to take advantage of more
memory on the server. In our environment, we have never found the need
for Citrix.

Our Terminal Server has Dual Xeon 2Ghz with 8GB of ram.

For us the main issue with 64-bit Server has been Print Drivers and old
32-bit software and old software with 16-bit installations.

We aren't live yet, but have tested Clients in Prototyping and Vantage
performs well with 5 clients. It actually performs better through
terminal services than on my Dual-core P4 Laptop with 2gb of Ram.

On the client side, we just use WYSE terminals. Remote VPN users start
a remote desktop session to the server and it works well.

In about two months, we will be going live with 65 Vantage 8.03.305
users with a Progress back-end database. All users will be accessing
Vantage via 6 Citrix servers. Each Citrix Server has 3 or 4 GB of main
main memory, and dual processors.

I am concerned that with 10+ users on each Citrix box, we will have
performance problems.

Does anyone have experience with sizing Citrix, and related performance
experience? Will this configuration be satisfactory?

Thank you in advance for your help.

John
Sorry, can't help on the sizing but could I ask what you are using at the client end? I'm interested in this route for our shop floor DC locations.
Thanks,
-Todd

In about two months, we will be going live with 65 Vantage 8.03.305
users with a Progress back-end database. All users will be accessing
Vantage via 6 Citrix servers. Each Citrix Server has 3 or 4 GB of main
main memory, and dual processors.

I am concerned that with 10+ users on each Citrix box, we will have
performance problems.

Does anyone have experience with sizing Citrix, and related performance
experience? Will this configuration be satisfactory?

Thank you in advance for your help.

John

In 6.1, I had 30 users running in one server and was still faster than
connecting directly. Cannot say a thing about 8.0 or higher.
