Another response from the guy I call Mr. NetScaler and Dr. EdgeSight. He currently manages almost 1,000 NetScalers for his employer so he knows his stuff. This is also the ONLY speaker I am aware of at a Briforum conference that got dinged by attendees because his session was TO technical!
<quote> You can, is everyone coming in via Remote Access? I have configured the NS Web Interface for just internal (no ICAPROXY) but it is a little tricky. I am using WI on NS without issue at a few sites but we aren't doing anything fancy (no smart cards, cert auth, anything like that) Works fine. If the traffic is external or if everyone is going to use ICAPROXY than you are fine, otherwise you will need to use WI sites, one for inside and one for ICAPROXY. </quote> Thanks Webster From: Sean Martin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 12:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Vmware Design for XenApp 6.5 w/PVS Thanks for the info Webster, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was after. It's funny you mention the WI vs. NetScaler argument because we've gone back and forth as well. We currently use an older pair of NetScalers to load balance client connections to our Web Interface servers. We started looking migrating WI to the NetScalers prior to XenApp 6.5 planning and the biggest complaint was the apparent removal of pass thru authentication support. In the end our management liked the idea of using the NetScalers to support the function and reducing our overall Windows Server count. During our High Level Design discussions for XenApp 6.5 we touched back on this topic and that's when discussions of deploying StoreFront started coming up but the engineer assisting with our design recommended either NetScaler or Web Interface. Since this project is not likely to ramp up until May/June, our Citrix Engineer is holding out for the possibility of deploying Cloud Gateway. I asked if Cloud Gateway was not an option which direction he would go and he's now leaning back towards deploying Web Interface servers. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
