I am very curious as to how these blade servers stack up from a cost per concurrent user perspective. We see traditional DL360 dual CPU servers supporting from 20 to 60 concurrent users (it varies widely due to the applications mix). Has anyone taken a set of demanding production applications an figured out how many concurrent users they can get on a blade? What is the fully burdened cost of the blade compared to a 1U or 2U server?=20 Thanks, Bernd Harzog CEO RTO Software 678-455-5506 x701 bernd@xxxxxxxxxxx www.rtosoft.com -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Greenberg [mailto:steveg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 12:47 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Blade Servers By far the most advanced solution which is relevant to Citrix installations are the products by RLX technologies. The managment software includes the ability to build and provision servers with point and click. The provisioning has an internal database of server images for LINUX and WINDOWS that can be a starting point, then you can build any number of images you like. RLX is very conservative in announcing new products and avoids vaporware, but I can tell that in Q1 they will not only have the most advanced managment capability, but also the highest performance available. The other brands are a decent start, but RLX will is at their 4th generation product now. Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

I was wondering if any of you have gone this route. I'm interested in which blade you went with, how many blades you're using, how many apps and approximately how many users you are serving. And best of all, do you think it was a good decision to consolidate apps to the blade server? Thanks! Jennifer Henske Windows Architecture A.G.
