Ronnie,
You're right - the laptop with apps running locally can be slower than one
hosted as a published app - especially if that application is getting data
across the network connection. Depends on your app mind - if they decide to
run Battlefield 1943 I expect their local performance would be better - but
if they're running, say, SAP locally on the laptop the performance may well
have dipped off.
So you're looking for a document that compares delivery of thick
applications with thin application delivery over a VPN? What bench marks are
you looking for? What are you looking to improve/change? Have you done your
own testing - that's going to be a very powerful message?
There's some interesting stuff in here -
http://www.citrix.com/%2Fsite%2Fresources%2Fdynamic%2Fsalesdocs%2FApp_Virtua
lization_BranchOff_Opt_WP.pdf which I know talks about branch office
deployments - but there's a nice graph looking at payload of traffic. Here's
a useful powerpoint from Simon Frost on ICA Bandwidth-

Looks like you've delivered on your initial remit; but if anything your
remit was a little short sighted. While it delivers off-line working,
moving the applications locally has given the user a performance issue.
Maybe a mix of streamed apps vs published apps for offline/online use?

Subject: [THIN] Citrix v full VPN
Hi,
I have finally got my CAG, AAC set up with a few options now available to
the user for remote access.
My initial remit was to provide users with a new domain laptop with full VPN
access, so that the Laptop can be docked when they are on site and when they
VPN in they have the exact same experience.
Any users that already have laptop's who also have admin rights and install
software etc.. need to be able to access a published Citrix Desktop, as most
of these users use a thin device when in the office this is fine. I am
giving these users the file shares as web recourses so they can download
files as we are still running an XP farm at the moment.
This is all looking good, I am having real visible speed issues when a user
uses the VPN laptop vs. the laptop were the user launches a published
desktop. To me it makes since that the VPN will be slower as when using the
published desktop all processing takes place in the data centre, but I need
proof for management.
So basically I am looking for some official document, if available and
indeed if I am correct in my thoughts, that sets out some bench marks.
thanks
Ronnie
