Hi Stuart,
I can't provide an opinion/comparison between branch repeater vs riverbed but I
can make a suggestion on a different possible option in trying to fix your
problem.
Take a look at the Akamai network as they have a solution that optimizes
ICA/HDX and helps with the end user performance issues caused by latency and
packet loss.
They don't alter physics either but its a bit like sending your traffic down a
worm hole. :)

Hello list!
Apologies for not playing an active role in the years i've been following the
list... however, I turn to you for assistance now and if anyone can offer some
guidance, i'm sure i'll be able to find it here.
ENVIRONMENT:
I'm faced with high latency from Asia region to Central Europe. From 250ms
upwards. Available bandwidth is currently not an issue.
Users connect to a VDI Windows 7 desktop from Asia to Europe.
PROBLEM:
Users have mixed experience with keyboard and mouse latency. (lag,
slowness...etc etc)
BASIC SETUP: (network device)
Currently using Riverbeds v 6.5 and look to v7.0 soon. (v8 out of scope atm)
QUESTIONS:
Although i'm not setting out to change physics ;o) i'm really interested to
know if anyone has used Branch Repeater instead of Riverbed for this kind of
user experience to any level of success.
Also, I am very new to Branch Repeater... any tips or gotachas for testing
such a device. I can replicate the latency with a Network Nightmare device.
Any help is greatly appreciated...
Cheers All - Stu
