[THIN] Re: VMWare and Citrix?

Brian,

If I understand correctly, your client plans to run VMWARE client (!) 
through Citrix, i.e. not VMWARE itself. This usually is attempted when 
on-line training is planned.

The answer is simple - at this time VMWARE client can be used through ICA or 
RDP but do not expect performance acceptable for the task, i.e. on-line 
training versus casual use.

Now, regarding VMWARE and Citrix in general. As you all know at the last 
iForum VMWARE was promoted as deployment layer for multi-CPU servers to 
deploy MetaFrame.

I have 5 virtual MetaFrames running at this time and I am very satisfied 
with VMWARE ESX servers for what I am doing. However this is not a solution 
for an average Citrix Farm, where the last bit of performance and acceptable 
costs are at stake.
