You could use AppSense Performance Manager to throttle the CPU and memory an app uses, if its within your budget. It can increase the user density of XenApp systems up to 40%

No remote printing. No audio, very little video streaming (we have a few videos and flash items on our Intranet site). XenApp 6.5 on Windows 2008 and 2008 R2 VM servers on XenServer (current version). I've seen the templates and will test them too. I've only been on 6.5 for a few weeks and am enjoying all the new features (better printing!). This via a CAG, soon to be Netscalers. Application is called ProFiler, made by Unicare. It's a good EMR application, but it gobbles CPU and memory on XenApp servers. It even makes Microsoft Dynamic Great Plains look "lite", resource-use wise.

You did not say what XenApp version or OS. XenApp 5 on 2003 does not have % bandwidth limits but XenApp 5 on 2008 does. XenApp 6.5 has bandwidth templates you can base new policies on.

We are temporarily renting space for staff training of a new clinical medical record. I anticipate about 100 simultaneous concurrent ICA connections from the training location, a few miles from our main complex, to our Netscalers. No domain controllers or servers - just laptops and staff using our Citrix XenApp systems. Unfortunately this is at a local school that is closing, and the District is not able to allow us to use the Internet connection. There is no optical connection to this site that an ISP could use. But, my ISP can make use of the copper and provide 50/5 business broadband service. This should be fine most likely, since there won't be much outbound traffic. For the ICA, though, anyone have an "average" to go on? I know Citrix says it could be from 50 kbps up to 500 kbps. I'm really looking for suggestions from those who may have done this. (I'll also do some measurement on our current Gateway users). I'd rather have too much than too little bandwidth. Thoughts?
