Hi Mike,
Use a virtual CAG and you've just solved your redundancy and DR issues. But
I'd have to ask whether you mean the standard CAG is actually supported?
Suuport so you can do do a return to base fix after getting an RA through
your reseller when the hardware fails. The likehood of Citrix actually
fixing problems on the CAG is historically kind of low. It's a Supermicro
rack mount PC with a Citrix front plate. How much is the front plate worth?
The CAG is an end-of-life piece of equipment who's only claim to fame is
that it's less expensive than it's replacement, though being built on linux
it is technically more secure than an IIS server. It's not particularly well
locked down, it's not at all optimized or stripped down, and Citrix have
done very little to actually develop it any further beyond just fixing
severe bugs or providing minimal enhancements.
Reliability, redundancy, DR vs minimal support. Are you sure you can't sell
that to management?
regards,
Rick
