It's built in so why not use it? Joe From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hamilton, Ronnie Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 8:10 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] PS 4.0 server specs Hi, I have been looking after our XP FR3 farm for quite a while now and have been tasked with moving to PS 4.0 It's a relatively small implementation with 160 users going to approx 250 this year. We usually have no more than 30 users per server and I know this will increase but I don't what all users on a couple of servers either. I have my lab set up and running, but I have come to the stage of having to purchase a test server or two to see how many users I can balance. As were totally an HP house. I have been looking at the DL 360 G4p. I was thinking along the lines of the Core Duo processors X 2 with Ultra 3 SCSI disks x 2 (one apps and one page ) no raid as we would usually keep a spare server in event of failure. And 4 Gb of RAM. Then I discovered that only the SAS SCSI is supported with the core duo processors. I read that the SAS SCSI is only faster when there's more than 3 disks. As we haven't used any of these new SAS SCIS disks I am unsure of the abilities. Basically has anyone any experience using these disks in their citrix environment ?
