From what I have heard (I even spoke to someone from Softricity this
week) not everything works. When it works is awesome and a GREAT
product/solution. But it has a BIG price tag so your upfront investment
on the overall TS solution will increase a lot.
In some places even if you show to them they will save money down the
road, the solution pays itself in 12 months etc, they cannot simply
justify another $50K, $200K on top (costs depend on what you want and
for how many people).
If you think a 200 user TS solution using Windows 2003 would cost you
around (software):
5 Server licenses, $5000
200 TS CALs, $12000
200 CALs, $1000
Total: $18000
The you start adding stuff like:
- Citrix: an extra $50000-60000
- ThinPrint/Screwdrivers: $8000+
Just on 'options' - and I did not add all the common options we normally
use - you added another $60000-70000! That is crazy, 3 to 4 times the
original price.=20
Softricity will add a lot to the cost for sure. :-)

Subject: [THIN] softricity for the Enterprise
Comrades,
What do we think of Softricity as an enterprise solution to application
deployment and hosting in a global citrix environment?
I have absolutley no experienc of this platform, but what it says on the
tin
could just about save me a right load of hassle! How does it perform?
I was thinking of getting Softricity in to our business under the guise
of a
DR solution! Just think, a minimum no. of servers being able to run any
of
their 1000 apps (except IE it seems??) in any combination on any blade!
Experiences, opinions and comments very much welcomed....
