Hi all, Bit of an urgent request here... I need you guys that have designed big Citrix farms to give me the benefit of your experience, Brian.. Jim et al... you know who you are.... I have a customer who currently has around 50 1.8 farms dotted around the globe. They are looking to consolidate into a Presentation Server III farm. The intial thoughts were to simply have one global farm with a highly resilient datastore replicated around the globe. My concern with the single global farm firstly, is the ability to maintain the integrity and availability of the Datastore. The client are looking at Oracle on Sun kit for the Datastore. Despite their expertise on high availability database solutions, I am still aware that the datastore can be easily corrupted, i.e. running chfarm whilst the CMC is open... My question is this... what would you advise for a 20,000 user Citrix farm split approx. equally across some 10 countries? Are farm failover solutions available? Thanks in advance...
