Hopsta Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Is there anyway that I can see Citrix PS on a Desktop (Vista) install? Never used the product or seen it so really want to see what there is to it so that I can appear to be informed ablout it. I haven't blagged it on my CV, before anyone asks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Sure you can - run it in VMWare Server. It's a piece of piss to set up. PM your email address mate I've been involved in some of the biggest Citrix deployments in the UK from a design perspective - and some smaller implementations. It's as complex a product as you want to make it though. To do an implementation properly takes considerable knowledge of environment tuning and the like, but to implement a small system or manage one is pretty straight forward.

Mac Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 To givey ou an idea of the complexity by the way, a 10k seat deployment design I did for a certain television company ran to some 600 pages for the detailed design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 You can run it via VMWs with a machine with 1/2Gb ram - it's not ideal but it does work. Personally I think Citrix has lost its way slightly with PS3,4,4.5/XENAPPS. The management is more distributed and some of the technologies don't quite work as expected. Still a great produt set though I don't do an awful lot of Citrix now - I used to though. It could be quick an interesting area to work in and if you want to get a far sounder technical understanding of the Windows platform for both server & client side configurations I don't think you'll get a better environment to learn in.

Waylander Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Interestingly, do you recall all the hassles I had getting that Citrix portal to work pn my pc Mac? Well on vista it "just works". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 It must be just about the only thing that does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
