We have a consultant's office in India that is experiencing major
performance issues when using Citrix. Here's what I'm seeing.
First, 3 Citix Metaframe XP servers, Win2003 server, published application
(colors reduced to 256 for the published app to reduce traffic).
Local connections run fine. We also have several VMWare boxes and if we
connect to those locally we can remote control the machines and launche
citrix on those machines and they run fine as well.
Here is the situation at the offshore consultant's office. Because we
cannot control the way they build their desktops, they use a T1 direct
connect to our network, with XP on the desktop and they use WindowsXP
remote desktop to control the above mentioned VMWare sessions. From those
VMWare sessions, they have two options- Run the fully installed thick
client program or run the same program published through Citrix. When
they run the fat client, their performance is fine, when they run the same
app through Citrix, the performance is so slow as to be nearly unusable.
They have also tried to bypass the T1 network connection and connect to
our network through a separate pipe using VPN. They are seeing the same
slow performance.
Domestically, we're not seeing this issue with users attempting to run
through the VPN.
I was wondering if ANYONE had ANY ideas on things we might look at to
improve this performance?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
