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.
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?
