Windows Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame provide a
powerful thin-client solution to centralize administration, rapidly
deploy applications, and extend the life of existing PC hardware.
IBM provides a range of IBM
~™ xSeries® thin-client
solutions from rack optimized servers, IBM BladeCenter™, and
larger multiprocessor servers running many virtual Citrix servers.
This IBM Redpaper outlines a thin-client design and deployment
methodology. It includes conducting your Citrix pilot, choosing
the appropriately sized xSeries technology, and installing, tuning,
and securing Windows Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame,
running on Windows Server 2003. It also explores such topics as
virtual MetaFrame servers, disaster recovery, load balancing, and
network sizing.
This redpaper provides several thin-client solutions. In addition,
it includes tips and tricks gained from our experiences in
implementing large MetaFrame solutions.
