Thanks for that Ruben, very impressive! Yup, licensing cost is what I'm looking for. Are you able to tell me if you got a pricing deal with Softricity? Also, I read on brianMadden.com somewhere, a rumour, about Citrix looking at purchasing an interest in Softricity??? thanks in advance, Brian -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ruben Spruijt Sent: 04 May 2004 14:18 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] FW: Re: softricity for the Enterprise Hi Brain, Yes there are 45.000 people, we esstimate that about 1500-2500 will be concurrent on the terminal servers. This is an education environment. There are about 8000 workstations on-site + ??? off-site,. 300 applications will be available through softricity/citrix/powerfuse.About 25 applications will be streamed directly to the workstations. These are applications i don't want to run on the terminal servers. These are CAD/Multimedia apps. It isn't easy to explain how much it costs.. ( i am purly a technical consultant) besides that what do you mean with costs.. only Softricity licensing ?!

I am currently in the process of trying to get this through the door, purely as a disaster recovery solution. What I am interested to know is.... how much did it cost you for such an installation... and did you mean 45 thousand people??!! Thanks in advance, Brian -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ruben Spruijt Sent: 03 May 2004 12:05 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: softricity for the Enterprise Hi, I am doing a project where 300+ applicaties must be available for 45.000 people. These applications are available throuhj Server Based Computing and directly streamed to the desktops When i look at the sort of applications in this scenario it really takes alot of time to make this al running smootly in a Server Based Computing environment. Sure Softricity will cost some money but without Softricity this project isn't that easy!. In my scenario we have: - No Terminal Server Silo's - No appliction conflicts - Realy easy application deployment and management! - Locally and Centrally processed Softricity applications. We are use RES PowerFuse as application management framework. The integration with PowerFuse and Sofgrid is great! When there are technical questions about Softgrid for Desktops and Terminal Servers, PowerFuse ..please let me know.

I have absolutley no experienc of this platform, but what it says on the tin could just about save me a right load of hassle! How does it perform? I was thinking of getting Softricity in to our business under the guise of a DR solution! Just think, a minimum no. of servers being able to run any of their 1000 apps (except IE it seems??) in any combination on any blade! Experiences, opinions and comments very much welcomed....
