They do use AppSense but I don't know what parts of AppSense they use and with which XenApp and XenDesktop projects. I am sure 23,300 AppSense licenses were not cheap! I am also sure 22,500 Platinum XenApp licenses, 800 Platinum XenDesktop 4 licenses and 25,000 Platinum XenDesktop 5.6 licenses set them back a good bit of money.

They get 90 users per VM or 360 users per host. IIRC, the hosts are HP DL380 G6 64GB RAM. THey support 22,500 concurrent users spread across the world but the vast majority are U.S. based workers using HP Linux thin clients. The XenApp 6.5 VMs are provisioned using Citrix PVS 5.6 SP2. As you can probably imagine, everything, and I mean everything, is extremely highly available and redundant.
