Dragon naturally speaking 11 have removed support for citrix. Are there any vendors out there that 1 are supported 2 fully functional under xenapp? Anu other solution that would be better?

Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2013 03:47:55 +0000 It is defiantly going to take some planning. I do tend to prefer IaaS over PaaS. I feel PaaS is too sticky. The one plus I see with Azure over EC2 is that I can move images back onsite without much to do with System Center From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brian Ehlert Sent: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 10:04 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Azure or EC2? PaaS machines are less expensive than IaaS due to the extras included (storage, network). Prices are reduced until GA. The virtual network gateway will cost extra. SQL Azure is far less expensive than a vm running SQL . Etc. So you really have to know what you want AND think creatively. IaaS on Azure is not cheap. But, it is very easy to determine the cost of each and every machine, and make you think if you should combine things. Now. I didn't even get into how to deploy to ensure you have HA in Azure. Else plan for a single VM to be down for a maximum of 30 minutes. I could go on. But as Andrew has been warning you...

I realise that – in our instance the pilot let us better understand the costs involved should it be deployed. Not saying its not production ready, just not production viable for that project.

On Azure (with XenApp) .. yes. On EC2 - no. On Rackspace (XA) - yes. My problem with Azure was the cost mounting up, the integration with local services, although its more doable than it used to be.
