[THIN] RE: [THIN] RE: [THIN] Re: VMWare or not ¿?

Can you be a little more specific of what you are doing exactly?  Such as:

1) 1 Citrix app server VM on 1 ESX box, no other VMs
2) 1 citrix app server VM on 1 ESX box, with other non Citrix VM's that are low 
usage
3) Multiple Citrix app server VMs in a single ESX box

We have several Citrix servers, PS 4.0 running on VM's (ESX 3.0).

We have used it mainly for things like WI, ZDC, etc., but have several running 
applications as well.  WE are currently getting 50-60 users per Citrix VM.  

What we have saved is rack space, ability to get several formerly physical 
servers, into a single 2U piece of hardware.  We are still testing, but we also 
have found a slight savings in heat produced, as well as power used.  

I like how quickly I can build out a new VM, based on a template, versus a full 
server build.  I like the fact that any required reboots are much faster.  I 
like the fact I can simply P2V from old unsupported hardware, to a VM.

This is not for everyone, not for every situation, but I do plan to continue 
moving more physicals to virtuals in the near future.  

Just my $.02.

well, we want to gain better performance (as most of partners saiy), not only 
for citrix but all of servers (like print servers, db server, notes server, 
etc...) in order to reduce a lot of machine into one, two, or three.
and taking advantadge of it, integrate citrix as well.
