I think it is a great idea and we have done it a number of times. Just keep
in mind that you are then running some of the apps in "pass thru", i.e. the
ICA client is actually running on the "desktop" server. Shouldn't be a
problem, but sometimes that exposes weaknessness or slowness in graphically
rich apps...

Subject: [THIN] Design question
Hi,
We were thinking of creating the following design in our new MF XPe =
environment. In the future we plan to have about a 1000 ThinClients and a =
1000 PC's.=20
Grouped in a farm, there will be two blocks.=20
First there will be a block of "desktop" servers. These are W2k MFXPe =
servers, that hold the desktop as a published application. These servers =
will enable the user to run some standard software everybody uses, like =
Office2k, GroupWise 5.5 and a terminal application.
Next to this block is a block of application servers. They don't offer a =
desktop, only published apps. Apps are divided over a few servers for =
loadbalancing.
All ThinClient users, will connect to the desktop servers and then pick =
other published apps. All pc users can make their own choice between =
desktop or directly a published app.
Any comments on this? Or is more info needed?
Gabrie
