Yes I've heard of the Kiss terminology.
I'm not interested in getting into a debate about the overall design rationale
of their network as it would take too long to outline to business drivers
behind their current infrastructure.
I'm only interested in hearing from people who have done an implementation like
this with PS4 in the real world.
BTW: Dispersed databackup etc are not an issue here.

So where will all the back-end data and servers be located? How will
dispersed data be backed up? What's the point in deploying Citrix if you
are not going to centralize it? What benefits will the customer see? What
is the business driver? You are better off building redundancy into the
WAN. For example: Depending on how many users per site you could have a
primary link that may be 1M/1M SHDSL with a backup of 128k ISDN. (This is
Australian terminology. So I'm not sure of the WAN terchnologies available
in your part of the world).
Have you heard the KISS theory?
Cheers.

Please respond to
thin
That seems like one ... unorthodox? ... architecture to me. Care to clarify
the details that are leading to this design? (Not saying it's wrong, just
saying I can't think of the real-world problem this solution is looking
for...)

Subject: [THIN] Citrix farms over a WAN
Guys/Gals,
I've been given a project to scope out a citrix farm design which consists
of 27 sites with 2 load balanced Citrix servers on each site. The client
needs it in this configuration for specific redundancy reasons (ie WAN
redundancy etc...)
Does any one know what the limitations on having a single farm span across
27 sites (limited bandwidth available as well).
I was planning on specifying a zone for each site, and disabling load
balancing across zones in MPS 4.
Any other pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
