Hello,
You might actually want to virtualize your servers on XenServer. Either way, I
would throw some more ram at the servers and build out more servers on the
hardware. This will make your life very easy in terms of patch
management/maintenance windows, and DR. You can do less users per vm, more vms
and have more redundancy.
$300 per user sounds about right for licensing XenApp.
Hope that helps,

Subject: [THIN] New Farm Hardware recommendations
Hi
Im looking at building a XenApp 6 farm for 50 users. We will be publishing
some simple apps, MS Office and 1 other inbuilt application. Requirements
are quite simple. Im trying to generate ballpark figures to management in
relation to how much it would cost and weather it is viable.. Farm is for
internal use only. Please let me know if I am on the wrong track
3 x Quad core HP ML370 Servers with 8GB RAM
Windows 2008 Std
XenApp 6 with 50 user licenses
My thinking is I can get 25 users per server and have a second for
redundancy. The third server would be the Web Interface/Licensing server
Is the above viable? Does anyone have rough pricing for XenApp 6 50 user
licenses? Only product on the citrix site is XenApp Fundamentals which is
1500 for 5 user pack. I have never used XenDesktop so would prefer to stay
away from virtualisation products..
Thanks
