yah , that is great to hear.    From what I heard,  Citrix did a great
job with AIE 2.   They really reduced the time it takes to do the
redirection and hence the streaming stuff is really fast and very little
overhead.  I'm glad you experienced that Steve.  

 

ok, I'm off to work, hi, ho,hi, ho.... :)

We had a hands on lab with Desktop Streaming last month and there did
not appear to be any performance issues. Older AIE and Tarpon seemed to
have slow launching, but not the new Desktop Streaming........

Joe,  that is a GREAT question.  I've also heard rumors that Citrix was
experiencing issues with Tarpon around performance.  I think that was in
the early builds and I know the finial release of AIE is a lot better
than ever before but it still takes up cycles.    This being said, I
heard rumors that Citrix was looking at using Aurema to help with
desktop deployments of Tarpon.  now that Citrix owns it I think they
could do this and really add a killer feature to Tarpon that others
don't have.  It ought to be interesting....  As always...

Wow...   I wonder what this means for the non-Presentation Server (or as
Citrix puts it, Virtualization Products) product lines (Desktop,
Exchange, SQL, etc)

guys, check this out:  

 

Rumor - Citrix Eyes Acquisition of Aurema

The word on the street is that Citrix is about to announce the
acquisition of CPU tuning expects, Aurema.     Citrix and Aurema have a
relationship dating back to 2004 when Citrix licensed Aurema's workload
management technology. 

...

The interesting part of this story is that Aurema is said to be going
under as it has been rumored they lost their biggest customer, IBM,
recently.  This being said and because of the fact that Citrix licensed
Aurema's technology vs. owning it outright, Citrix needs to find a way
to secure the code or find another solution and fast.    I've also heard
the Aurema employees are out beating the streets for employment.  All
this makes me believe this rumor is true and Citrix will basically pick
up Aurema for next to nothing.   

...

and it goes on....  this is a really interesting story.  I can't wait to
see what happens...  I could be wrong... that is for sure..  so what do
you think? 

(sorry for the second email but I wanted to make sure the title was
right)
