Hi Mike, I spent years working with Cubix (the "original" wintel blade), and I did a lot of work with them in the Pentium Pro days. Wow.. you brought back the memories.. Anyway BCS was a WINS-based network load-balancing from the late 90s, and since XPe provides its own load balancing, you can do away with it and go pure XPe.

We are currently running 4 Cubix 'Blade' Boxes and they are managed using the Cubix 'Balance Cluster Service'. Does anyone have any experience with these types of boxes? I checked Cubix's web site and they stated that technical information for the BCS was not available at this time. By biggest question is can I just do away with the BCS and go strait to Citrix XPe. Or do I need the BCS for cubix and if so is there an update for it? (we will be going to 2000) Thanks for you help. ----- C.
