I would go with 4.5 simply because 4.5 is not a huge change over 4.0.  The
underlining infrastructure is same.  IMA, Printing is the same between 4.0
and 4.5.  The other components such as licensing, streaming, management
interface have change.

Subject: [THIN] PS 4.5 upgrade? or PS 4

 

Guys

 

I know this is fairly early for definitive answers but hoping somebody has
some good ideas.

 

We are embarking on an upgrade now from XPe to PS 4.x.

 

We had planned to go to 4 and then 4.5 later in the year.  We were
anticipating that the 4.5 release would be a bit late but they have
surprised us with the release before the end of 1st quarter.

 

Our pilot is not due to start till the end of March.

 

Thought as to use PS 4 or rather 4.5 to save us some time later in the year.
Concerned about using the latest bleeding edge technology.  After all citrix
is not known for it's pristine bug free software at the first attempt.
Thoughts on if we did go with 4.5 and had problems, citrix turn around time
on fixes?  I guess I'm thinking a pilot is a good time to find the issues
and as long as we have good turn around on fixes it shouldn't be too bad.

 

Anyone got any good feedback already about how smooth 4.5 works  or plans to
implements rapidly?  Any one been running the beta for a long time and found
it quite reliable?

 

I've also heard rumours that moving from 4 to 4.5 is not quite as easy as
say going from PS3 to PS4  as there are that much more components and
configuration to think about.  Is this true?.

 

Thanks Malcolm
