We are digging into the whole VDI options because of some specialty apps one of our business are deploying. We are also consolidating our data centers so offering VDI in the datacenter will make access to the data more secure and quicker.
We’ve had people in to talk about both products. We already using ESX for our server virtualization and have a Citrix presentation server 4.0 farm (with current support)
Citrix seems to have more options and a better overall package, but there’s also a higher price for those options. One thing we were told today is even if we plan on using XP for the virtual desktops we have to purchase a special “virtual license”. I don’t remember the name of the license (it included the the word vista in it) but we where told we’d still need it for XP desktops. That’s an extra cost we were not expecting.
Anyone have experience with Epicor Clientele in a VDI or XenApp environment?
later,jb

Here’s how to do it.

I was reading 6 free remote desktop sharing and screen sharing solutions from Online Tech Tips looking a free new install remote desktop sharing to help support friends and family. I checked on all 6 of the solutions OTT listed and a few from the comments. A few of them claimed to have no install, but when you started digging deeper there was an install, there a ‘plug-in’ or activeX component. These are installs!!! Anything that is added to a system that requires admin access is an install.
I’m talking to you SkyFex and dimdim. TeamViewer does only require the ‘expert’ to have software installed and they do have a portable app that doesn’t require an install its a stand alone exe. But it is only available in the paid version
