Hi Ralf There are no hard and fast sizing rules as such - typically customers have a chat to the local reseller or Sun contact and find out a bit more about the application, user mix, etc. Based on my experience, if you've got a V240 and are only running the Citrix client in Controlled Access Mod

Craig - Not sure. Is there a guide or rules on what the setup should be? I mean, SF240 1-100 users OK, what will happened if I add user 101 to the system? Are there any guidelines from SUN? What is your take on it. Your recommendation? I know how to scale my hardware on the backend, no problem.

Well, you're not going to get 500 users on the a SF240. The tweaks in the install guide (also pay attention to the multihead section should you use that). Are you just going to do full screen windows via Controlled Access Mode? Ralf K. Wiegand wrote: I'm installing the sun ray server on a SF

I'm installing the sun ray server on a SF240 and Citrix on Dell server. Any tunning issues on the solaris/sun ray side, when going from say 2 users to 500 users in the real world? Like /etc/system file etc... to make the entire setup run at best performance? Ralf --- Craig Bender <[EMAIL PRO

Are you trying to run Presentation Server for UNIX? If so you will need to talk to your VAR. On the other hand, if you just want to let Sun Ray users connect to a Windows server then: 1. Is there some reason you cannot use native Windows Terminal Services and rdesktop? See http://www.rdesktop.

The correct way to get a citrix license is to find your local var. They should be able to get you a 30-90 day demo whether through ESD (Electronic Software Dist) or by getting you a CD. Most likely this will be Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 (their newest product) What you can download is th

I have not had a chance to play with version 4 but previous versions would run for 35 days before the license had to be activated. To get a copy you will probably need to contact Citrix or your local VAR. Both products work fine side-by-side. The biggest headache you will probably have is suddenl

Hello - Maybe a little out of contents. I would like to test out citrix presentation server. Any idea if you can get a Citrix demo license for 30 days or so? I'm trying to test out citrix and a Sun Ray setup. Any help or pointers would be great... Thanks Ralf Wiegand
