Yup, they would. Only because our public safety (police) shares our network. Not allowed to say what type of routers, firewalls, etc. It's actually an FBI requirement for all agencies that can connect to their networks or receive their data. adam "Ron Oglesby" <roglesby@rapidap To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> p.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: [THIN] Re: Dream environment thin-bounce@freel ists.org 04/01/2004 10:25 AM Please respond to thin Really? This always cracks me up. Like if you were to divulge that you had a pair of X type ciscos as the backbone with X type redundant routers and fiber to the Y type in the rack etc they would give you a hassle?

We are a Compaq/HP shop and we run DL580 and DL380 G3 for Metaframe. The G3's use the onbaord Smart Array 5i with the Battert Backed Write Cache and the DL580 use the 5302/64 controller. We do have a fairly robust network infrastructure which I can not divulge (my security team would 'draw and quarter' me if I did). adam ----- Forwarded by Adam Baum/genserv/mesaaz on 04/01/2004 07:45 AM ----- =3D =3D20 Adam.Baum@cityofm =3D 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. adam ******************************************************** This weeks sponsor Emergent Online.
