Angela,

If the users workflow isn't changing, I would use your current links as a 
baseline at least.  What's the traffic on the current links look like, who 
are the big talkers, etc?

If your users are going to the head office to browse the Internet, be 
careful.  If you can route their Internet traffic out of the branch office 
directly that'll definitely help WAN bandwidth.

Thanks,

Tony

[THIN] Citrix WAN design - the ultimate design







HI

I have the fortunate situation where I have the opportunity to redesign 
our company WAN links / Citrix design.  Is there a best practice for 
numerous small branch offices (10 - 40 users)?  We have 30 sites around 
the country connected via frame relay links.  If you had the opportunity 
to design your farm from new how would you do it??.  Application use is 
fairly simple (Office, Outlook etc).  Im not looking for assistance on 
Citrix farm numbers, more high level..  This is what Im thinking:

4Mb WAN links from Head Office to all sites (direct, not via other 
branches)
Centralised Print Server in Head Office
Citrix Presentation Server 4.5
Tricerat ScrewDrivers for Printing


Would this be a good start?  Would anyone add Citrix WANScalers also or 
would 4Mb links be sufficient for sites with 40 users or less?

Am I on the right track?

Thanks
Ang
