Here is my dream environment:

-All HP Blade servers, with one hot swap.
-All booting off of the SAN (eva 5000 or EMC Clarion 600)
-Separate Blade server for SQL datastore.
-TScale installed on all MF boxes.
-Tricerat's suite rolled out across all.
-Trend Micro Server Protect for AV.
-F5 hardware load balancing my multiple NFuse and CSG boxes.
-WMSoftware's Shutdown Plus Rolling Restart handling the reboot schedule
for
0 downtime.

...maybe even throw VMWARE in the mix...

HI All,

I have been asked to provide a roadmap for our Citrix environment.  Our
standard way of developing roadmaps is to come up with our "dream"
environment, analyze its costs/benefits, see if it meets our
requirements,
settle of the final solution, and
then develop a plan for getting there.  The "getting there" part may
require
multiple transitions...sort of like mutating into the final solution
with
several stops along the way.

I am in the first phase.  If you were walking into a new company that
had
no computers, but a standard list of apps, what would your dream
Metaframe
environment look like?  Here are some guidelines:
      Windows 2003 Active Directory will be in use
      Beside using internally, clients will need access from home
      Must be secure (ie..128bit encryption, etc)
      PC's and thinclient devices are to be used
      Stability is key
      Can use 3rd party utilities such as Tscale and Simplify Printing.
      Antivirus is a must
      This is a local government - we run all sorts of stuff.  The more
we
      can have on Metaframe, the better.
