thinking going citrix. Input? Halcyon's peeps are getting me some decent bandwidth, but an outsourced platform is in the works.

15-20 users, remote access important. No weird apps like CAD, just office and a few specialty programs.

...I don't know what you're trying to do, exactly, but I see a lot of people waste money on Citrix when all they really need is Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (a.k.a.Terminal Services).

If you already have a Windows Server, you already have RDS. You just need to spend about $100 per client access license and you're good to go.

I put that on the wife's PC so she could work on her genealogy with her laptop & not have to transfer the result. She can sit anywhere in the house & it is just like being at the PC.

I also used it to make a variation of a home theater PC for a Doctor friend, so he could shove people into a propaganda room and have his receptionist start the video clips from the front desk.

I had to use it a few years back and everything about it was a major PITA.

showmypc.com works well. I use it for VPN to my clients stuff. I can let you set up a remote on my account to test it out if you want.

for all my clients

and a dedicated windows 2008 R2 server with terminal services (RDP), works great for all my coworkers

How many cores in that box?
I'm curious how your experience compares with the marketing BS :-)

catches on fire

[ghollis_1]

single core re-used server, 3GB RAM, 2.8 GHz P4 processor, 32 bit OS install.

it serves up to five concurrent, usually VPN remote users, for entering time, sharing files, live meetings, etc. it's fine for what i need it for. all my local users have their own dedicated laptop, and use the terminal server for accessing local network resources when traveling.

linux is solid so far for me though..have customers with 5+ yrs with same box..no issues. everything around it has been upgraded. box keeps on going as long as IP addressing is the same..

Just think what you could do with more geebees :-)

right now and it sucksballs. Need more speed and reduced latency. When I'm home remoting in, sometimes it is so laggy that this entire sentence is typed and won't appear till it's nearly finished. No Bueno.

look over my bids for the network. I need a solution pronto. You still have accounts you service in Austin?

...I don't know what your configuration is, but something is not right somewhere.

We were running Server 2003 w/ Terminal Services and now we're running Server 2008 R2 w/ Remote Desktop Services and our employees love it. They always get excited about how fast it is and they call it the "magic icon". As in, "Hey IT dudes, can you setup a magic icon for me to use from home?"

It's real easy for them and they love being able to just double click the icon, type their password, and everything runs almost like they're in the office.
