ESX 3 brings official iSCSI support, so that should reduce some costs.
The local sheriffs office in down is using IBM Blades with VMWare
(currently ESX 2.5) to Virutalize Citrix with no complaints. I  have
absolutely no idea what kind of Citrix load they have however.

Performance is not good and 50% better is still not enough for real
world environments!  Plus with VMWare you need SAN space to us the
VMotion options, it starts to get pricey with questionable performance.
Still a GREAT solution for servers with less utilization than usual
Citrix servers!

We are looking into VM.  So the current version has poor performance
when it comes to Citrix?

Wait for ESX 3.0 as it is rumoured that TS/Citrix performance is 50%
better then with ESX 2.5.  Also VMWARE has released some very attracting
pricing. The base version of ESX is now $1000 US for two processors and
includes all the features you would need to start running Citrix servers
on ESX. They also have more advanced versions for purchase once you
realize the fully benefit of their products. I would avoid running
Citrix or TS on VS 2005.

Should be interesting times ahead!

If you expect medium to heavy usage of the Citrix server, avoid it.
Your VM is limited to seeing a single processor (no matter how many you
have) and you add 15-20% overhead.  VMs are great for servers that don't
get heavy use and/or are less interactive, which tends not to be a
terminal server.

Greetings,

 

I was wondering if anyone was running Citrix PS4 on a MS Virtual Server
2005 VM?  If so, any feedback as to whether this is a good idea or not
would be greatly appreciated.  I'd also be interrested in any feedback
you may have as to problems encountered along the way.

 

Thanks

Rob
