Hi gang - Looking for some advice for putting together our new Citrix farm Current environment: 5 citrix server farm Compaq ProLiant ML370 Dual Pent III 667mhz/256k cache 1.5gb memory Windows 2000 Server/Metaframe XPe FR2 Current user load is 220 users which is 44 per server. Current application set that is used is Office 2000, IE, Outlook. A few business specific applications, but then the big hog an ERP package that takes up gobs of memory. The ERP package uses Progress. Performance was acceptable until we went from 180 users to 220 users. Now things are sluggish and will get worse because new users are not even using the ERP solution. Also started receiving I/O errors randomly after adding the new users. Application set will not change in the foreseeable future, but what will change is the growth and amount of users. So I have the lucky fortune of picking new hardware. Can anyone recommend what HP/Compaq hardware that I should be looking at. I have a budget of around 60k, for hardware/rack. So this is a good start. I was thinking 6 or 7 dual processor dl380 or dl360? Any one have any thoughts? Thanks and this should be fun!
