Great.  We're looking and focused on the acceleration portion so cost is
a concern as well.  Anyone have experience with Wyse's or Ericom's
products as well?

vWorkspace by Quest does the deal (With the Experience Optimization
Pack), and a whole  lot more. Nice responsive company, good tech
support, but some features listed turn out to be not so great (EG You
can install any scanner you like via USB...as long as it doesn't rely on
TWAIN).

 

In terms of what you're asking for, works nicely, much fewer end user
complaints. It does in effect turn web pages etc into a jpeg as opposed
to a  bitmap so some sites can look a *little* crinkled. Unfortunately,
the one this is most obvious with is Google, but we haven't had any
actual complaints - if you have graphics professional as end users they
would go bonkers though.

 

It also handles printing *very* nicely, and granular publishing of apps.


 

However, to use it fully it is a fair investment of time/effort. If
you're trying to avoid the cost/complexity of Citrix, it looks to me (A
non-Citrix person) a very good halfway house.

Hi all,

 

We've got a large Terminal Server farm and are looking at RDP
accelerators with a focus on user experience including PDF display,
Flash display, PowerPoint, and overall visuals.  We're just starting the
process of review and I'm interested in anyone's opinion of solutions
available today.  

 

Has anyone gone through the process and picked solutions that work well?

 

Thanks,

Bill
