I think it is a good idea to right size these things. If the free version,
or the free version with an add-on, can do it for less $$ then obviously it
is a good solution.
I think it is a little misguided though when people say that Citrix is
overpriced, they clearly have the most advanced functionality available,
particularly when you put a complete solution together across the App
Delivery/Networking/Virtualization spaces...
This is why I think Provision Networks are very smart, they can potentially
build a large and lucrative market around what most people need most of the
time- brilliant!

The gateway works, we've been using it for a while, on occasional basis. It
works quite nicely, in fact, but with basically no granularity; it remains
that if you're serving our the same apps to the same people then vanilla TS
works fine - for small firms, it's great.
For anything more complex, you will probably need an add-on. Ericom provide
a freebie (Then you pay if you want load-balancing features). For my money
using Provision's...umm...vWorkspace (Recently renamed) is the direction
we're going as our 'We don't need Citrix' solution - does everything we need
for *waaaaaayyyyyyy* less money than Citrix.

And it beats Citrix's CSG by $0.00.
Citrix killer? No. There is still value that Citrix adds to Terminal
Services above and beyond the stock product. For smaller customers there is
AE and for Medium to Enterprise there is XenApp Enterprise and Platinum.
For remote access, CSG is included in AE. For larger customers there is
the CAG and AGE.

Subject: [THIN] TS Gateway - OT?
So it's been about a year that the MS TS Gateway has been around. I've seen
zero discussion of it on this board, I'm wondering what everyone's opinion
is of it and if they have tested or implemented. My architecture group
seems to think it's a Citrix killer. I don't. I'm preparing my arguments
now and would appreciate a sound off from the list on the subject.
Thanks all
Tom
