10K. Well that's pretty good. And if it works you that is what matters
right? Generally we have found ICA fatter than that (better than RDP)
but with bandwidth costs being inexpensive (relatively) some of our
smaller clients have opted for the TS only route.
10 K, wow.

In the tests we ran - the figures can out at an average of 10k per
connection for ICA, and 23k for RDP.
In relation to rollout we are doing it makes staying with Citrix the
best way forward, as I am looking at a large number of small offices,
all using limited bandwidth DSL links.
And to support RDP, the investment in WAN costs exceeded the Citrix
licensing cost.
Let me know what you think.

Phil

Your kidding right? What metrics are you using to compare the two
protocols, and what is the pay pack?

The main driver I have seen for Citrix recently is the bandwidth issue,
in implementing a new farm - we found that the bandwidth required for
Terminal server, and hence the increase in Network cost - exceeds the
cost of the Citrix licenses...

Hmmm...upgrade 5 users to Citrix on Win2k = c. $2000(I think). Upgrade
5 usrs from win2k to w2k3 = c. $750.

True, but in a environment where they do not have any terminal services,
it is very difficult to see a compelling argument for Ctx

Well the cost of 2003 is upgrading to 2003 if you're not there yet.

Cost, no Citrix tax. With windows 2003 there is little or no advantage
in using ica locally.
A native windows 2003 with a WTS gateway will provide almost the same
experience as a Citrix XPa environment with none of the added expense

I'm just curious about something within this group.
I've noticed more people than I expcected using RDP to connect their
users to their Metaframe servers. I've always been a big ICA client
person myself. I'm just curious to see what benefits some folks see w/
the RDP client over the ICA client, or is it just preference?
Thanks.
Jay
