Well considering we currently peak at 350 concurrent users it is definitely a better price than Metaframe XPa. As soon as I get the test network setup I will most likely download and see how it does. We are trying to decide between straight Terminal services and something like citrix or tarantella. We would like more inexpensive option than citrix. Currently our plan is to have a second datacenter and new customers would go to tarantella and slowly migrate existing ones. (We currently have well over 1500 VERY widely scattered Devices connecting to our farm). -----Original Message----- From: Jim Kenzig http://thin.net [mailto:jimkenz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 10:42 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Tarantella I certainly like the way they are marketing it. Basically free, all you pay for is a per user 2 year maintenance fee of $59.95. Meaning you could get 100 users going for under $6000. How much would it cost you to do the same with Citrix? It makes it very appealing for a small corporation with a tight budget.

The new one. We are looking at implementing it on Server 2003. -----Original Message----- From: Claudio Rodrigues [mailto:crodrigues@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 10:10 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Tarantella I used it many times (If you mean Canaveral IQ that was New Moon's product) and I do like it. In some aspects Citrix is trying to catch up to them. If you mean the old Tarantella product, Unix based, I also used and still think it is useless. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jason Patten Sent: June 23, 2004 2:38 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Tarantella Is Tarantella a Good alternative to Citrix? Or are there any major offsetting disadvantages to it? 670,616,629 mph. Its not just a good idea, its the law.
