Where I was coming from was the source docs being directly on the Citrix site like the IBM one is. I've seen that HP doco before - I thought it focused more on giving an indicator on sizeing/capacity, rather than how to try and best configure the setup (like the IBM one is). Likewise, Dell have some useful documentation on customizing ADS for deployment of PEdge servers(http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/solutions/deploying_pedge_ads_d tk_wpapr.pdf) Neither the HP or the Dell go into the configuration of their blade setups like the IBM one does. And, like Joe, I was interested to see IBM's take on the SAN back end for the drives.. _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Kenzig http://ThinHelp.com Sent: 23 January 2006 15:56 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: KB: Deploying Citrix MetaFrame on IBM eServer BladeCenter What do you mean they have them already... just search blades and Citrix on HP site: Like this: Scalability and performance of HP ProLiant BL45p server blade with Citrix Presentation Server x64 http://h71019.www7.hp.com/ActiveAnswers/downloads/ScalePerform_CitrixPSx64_B L45p_1005.pdf This is a bit older Scalability and performance of HP ProLiant BL20p G3 server blades in an HP SBC environment http://h71019.www7.hp.com/ActiveAnswers/downloads/bl20p_performance_aw_3.pdf And one from IBM Deploying Citrix MetaFrame on IBM eServer <http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/slogoFFFFFF.gif?OpenImageResource> BladeCenter with IBM FAStT Storage http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp3583.pdf Andrew Wood <andrew.wood.co.uk> wrote: Wonder how long before hp and dell come along with something similar... the Compaq doco is pretty out of date .. _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Shonk Sent: 23 January 2006 15:06 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: KB: Deploying Citrix MetaFrame on IBM eServer BladeCenter Interesting.. IBM wants to backend the Citrix Servers to their storage box. I wonder if this is because the onboard SCSI Raid controller is so freak'n slow..
