Some if it works on XenApp like HDX for Flash. You'll need to be fairly up to date on both client and server side versions of XenApp and online plugins.

It looks like this is strictly for XenDesktop.. any chance that they have HDX working with XenApp you think? -BenN On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 9:42 AM, Russell Robertson <russell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:russell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: I think the key here is that if you need proper 3D functionality, you might want to check out HDX 3D Graphics. However, this relies on you running XenDesktop on workstation blade. Effectively one user per blade. This is the basis for Flexcast, choosing the best solution for the type of user. Otherwise HDX for Flash might be okay, I think some of your apps are Flash based? Would need tested, I think latency has to be quite low and depends on the implementation of Flash. I've gone to http://hdx.citrix.com to get the URL and it looks like they've change the options again, so probably best heading over there initially and seeing what options are best.

Whether or not virtual desktops would be better is kind of a loaded question. Maybe, maybe not. I have seen demos of advanced 3d graphics in both XenApp and XenDesktop environments and I know it is in fact possible.

The one problem we see is we can't use applications like Bing Maps 3D or Google Earth which some of our users actually need to use. Our Dell servers don't support 3d in their video nor can they have PCI Express video cards. We are quoting servers now and Dell still can't do it. We might try HP next. How is everyone getting around this? Do you buy servers somewhere else? Would virtual desktops be better instead of XenApp? -BenN
