Hi Ron,
You'll be dealing with terminal services regardless. The only thing
Tarantella will save you is per user licensing costs, hardware
requirements will stay the same.
If using something like threadmaster, Armtech, etc doesn't help the
scalability, then it'd be worth your while to try and find out what the
application does. Sysinternals filemon, regmon and ethereal for network
traffic tracing will get you pretty close to understanding what the app
is doing.
As an example, one of my customers had an absolutely awful Java
application that settled down brilliantly once we unpacked it's Java
archive and cached it locally.
Regards,
Rick

Subject: [THIN] Tarantella anyone?
Well - my plight against the accounting program that after 8-10 users on
a win2k3 server will peg the CPU is almost in the dirt. I have the CPU
throttle going to slap it down but I just cannot get a whole lot of
users when they run this program. I am not alone as I find others using
Creative Solutions Accounting in the accountant field has similar
problems.
Tech support answer? - logout/in again. Grrr...Not good enough. Having
them fix their code it next to impossible....an accounting firm with the
same problem experimented and went back to Win2000 TS with better
results. Hmmmm....
So I sit here at the table looking for solutions. Throwing 2 more CPU's
at a cost of $5k will not cut it for I don't think it will still be able
to handle it. At $7k, I can get a PE2650 by dell and start down the
road of LB and start growing the farm.
Now - my question to the thin community....does anyone have luck with
Tarantella and how it compares to Citrix? I am waiting for costs on
Tarantella but I also think Citrix is overkill for 50 users just to get
published apps and load balancing (i.e. designate which user or app goes
to what server). I am not even at accounting season so this is only
going to get worse.
Thanks for the input.
