You'll want to be aware of latency as well.
GigE with 2000ms latency != GigE with 2ms latency
If you're the latter than cifs shouldn't be an issue.

Subject: [THIN] Citrix Farm performance over WAN
Hi
We currently have 30 XenApp 5 Servers split between 2 Sites. Sites are
connected by Gig Links. At present we use Zone Preference and Failover and
Site A is Active only. Site B is for Disaster Recovery only. Site A is
running at around 75% utilisation according to Citrix Load Evaluator. As per
my previous emails we are having issues with SMB bottleneck. I am considering
removing Zone Pref and Failover and making Site B active also. Therefore all
XenApp servers get utilised which will half the resource requirements on my
servers and hopefully remove any bottlenecks.
Can anyone see an issue with running with such a config. XenApp Servers in
site B will need to cross the Gig link to connect to File Server/Web interface
but on a gig link I think should be OK. Any pro's/con's with this approach?
Thanks
Ang
