How many users can I get on a STREAMED box??!!

In my 8 years or so dealing with management products specifically around Citrix products, I think the question I’ve heard most (aside from how do you stay in such great shape, are your eyes naturally that color, and is that smell coming from you…?) is the fundamental question of “How many users can I get on a XenApp (or previous naming)server?” So when we included PVS as part of the Platinum package, and we’re showing customers the great advantages of streaming the server rather than installing every image, my natural question was “how does that affect scalability and the user experience???”

 

So myself and Pete Downing - he of the rediculously smiley on stage demo’s of PVS in Synergy and iForum’s past - decided this would make a great topic for a Synergy session. So if you’re interested in seeing the results of a comparison between a physically installed XenApp Server and a streamed XenApp server done with EdgeSight for Load Testing, mark yourself down for ‘iForum Breakout Session - iForum226: Manage your entire XenApp farm from a single image - it’s easy and it’s in the box!’ at 2:30 Tuesday May 5th in Grand Ballroom 115-117.

 

If everything goes according to plan, we’ll also have the test running on the PVS and EdgeSight stand so if you can’t make the session drop by, say hello and take a look at how the tests are running.

 

See you there!
