Hi.
I work at at technical college with sites in 3 cities. Each city is connected to each other at 100Mbps low-latency connection (think of it as a triangle). We run voice over IP, video over IP, and telepresence over these connections along with web traffic, file & print, Oracle, etc. Anyone who has telepresence knows that if the WAN can handle that type of traffic, this shouldn't be an issue. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Yesterday we had a visit from the VMware EUC expert to review our setup and he mentioned that what we have is unsupported because of the ADAM database replication. I never heard of this issue before and I wanted to get feedback from others who have used View longer than I have.
We setup a View 5.1 environment last October where the main connection server is in CITY A and we installed a connection server in CITY B and another in CITY C. He stated that this is unsupported and VMware won't support us if we call them.
His suggestion was to scrap this and install a separate View environment in each city. Say what? I am not implying he is a liar but I always double check facts that appear to be suspicious. It is an ADAM database and has all the tools necessary for latency and disconnect WAN. Plus, it is a 100Mbps connection, not a T-1 or lower.
We did this approach so that each site has its own VDI server and the users are not going across the WAN. Provides local VDI access with a centralized management.
Thoughts?
