There are very big gaps. Provisioning services will boot virtual or physical desktops and virtual or physical servers using a PXE boot. Does View Composer do all that? Machine Creation Services (MCS) would be a direct comparison to Composer. To compare HDX 3D Pro to PCoIP you would need to talk about ICA's superior WAN performance and XenServer's GPU pass-through technology. In all cases non-LAN environments could benefit from WAN optimization, regardless of the protocol. It is not based on bandwidth alone. Latency and number of users on the other end come into play. Why mention UPM (Citrix Profile Managment) and also not mention RingCube? EasyCall no longer exists. Citrix works with different unified communications vendors, e.g. MS (Lync) and Cisco. XenClient and View Local mode cannot be compared really. XenClient is a bare-metal hypervisor. One great thing about this article's price list is it exposes the FUD about View costing less than XenDesktop. This is because those stating that will only compare it to the cost of Platinum and not an edition of XenDesktop that matches View Premier. Of course if you are in the government space there is XenClient XT (built on SE Linux) and the fact that XenDesktop, XenApp, XenServer, and NetScaler (AGEE built-in) are all Common Criteria certified. Go to the Common Criteria site and you will find them in the list.<br /><br />I would also like to make the disclaimer that I myself work for Citrix so nobody claims I was trying to hide it! I think this article is a great outline though for a much longer comparison. The products involved contain too much to compare it all in one blog!A.

1.You say:"XenDesktop and VMware...Questions: <br />1.You say:"XenDesktop and VMware ThinApp" - do you mean XenApp (which is a component of XenDesktop, included)?<br />2. "VMware View PCoIP protocol acceleration is done via a Riberbed appliance." <br />- Isn't the cost of PCoIP quite expensive, where the ICA protocal from Citrix is free?<br />-Also - the Riverbed Appliance comes with a nice price tag as well,while with Citrix you get the virtualized branch repeater- Wan Optimization included for free.<br />-And "For most use cases acceleration is not required, only WAN links with very low bandwidth" <br />-Please show me a Government Agency that does NOT have bandwidth issues. <br />3. "VMware View Local mode is different than XenClient but both try to achieve similar end-result"<br />-Yes, both try - but do they? I do not think so...Isn't XenClient much more advanced than View Local Mode. Have you heard of XenClient XT?<br />4. So, to be clear, in View 5, the customer is still locked into using VMware's vSphere hypervisor -correct? There are not costs associated with that shown (as you showed the cost to run XenDesktop on vSphere)? It is NOT free like XenServer is. <br />Citrix allows the customer to use Citrix, Microsoft or VMware's hypervisor.<br />5. Also, in View 5 - did they make changes to offer different delivery methods besides a full desktop?<br />6. I would like to hear why you belive that ThinApp is about the same as XenApp (which has been around for over 20 years)? The capabilities are completely different.<br />7. WAN scalability - I understand that View doesn't do so well on the WAN...<br />Thanks - just a few questions! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4589233933784916889.post-33415963037756434202011-11-12T12:48:33.639-08:002011-11-12T12:48:33.639-08:00This is a rip from another blog.
