As someone else suggested use vmware for test/dev for citrix servers and use
esx for other support servers like WI, CSG,licensing, datastore etc.
It will be interesting to see if ESX 3 changes the game.

Hi Jeff,
yeah right 2 with dual core processors...
That's what I heard also about ESX and blades, I thought lets check with you
guys....you have the experience....
so the best would be to split it, ESX for test and blades for operational
uses......
thanks
greetings
Rob

The blades, I'm assuming, are 2 way processors? It would be a waste to throw
ESX on them. You'll get less users on the blade servers with ESX. You would
end up buying more blades to house your 200 users. ESX would be fine for test
environments where your testing applications, compatibility those types of
things. Things where performance and number of users are unimportant.

Hi,
For our company I've been asked to design a Citrix farm for several
purposesâremote learning centre / operational use / test environment
We were having a brainstorm session today and came up with some idea.
We thought about building a new farm (MPS4).
For training facilities we don't really know how much capacity we'll need in
the near futher (we estimate about 200 concurrent users), so we thought to use
blades. We run an ESX and wanted to use that for our Citrix farm.
Is it good practice to use Blades and ESX if were planning for a new
multipurpose Citrix farm.
If anyone could give there opinion, experience I'd be gratefullâ.I have no
real knwoledge of ESXââyet.
The connectivity is done with a CAG an WIâbut that's another thread ,
maybeââgoen fight with those myself first.
Thanks for any input
Greetings
Rob
