Flash acceleration solutions and vdi ideas

[mirojr]

Hi

 

Have been having issues with multimedia esp flash over RDP.

 

I was just about having a panic attack as i had just bought a new server etc, and I tried lots of things before I found out that I needed a helping hand from certain technologies that accelerate Flash performance.

 

I currently have hyper-v on a server with RDP session host as a role also.

 

I have some thinclients that cannot run Remote FX through a browser so that solution went out the window.

 

So next one I have been trying has been citrix vdi-in-a-box which has managed to perform well. Flash and audio seem to be performing fine.

 

My question is regarding other technologies/solutions.

 

I am wondering whether XenDesktop is better to use, does it sit directly on hyper-v, is it more expensive?

 

I am also wondering whether Xenserver is woth looking at? Is this like a full bare metal hypervisor? Wonder which is better solution really.

 

I am also looking to speak to some guys called ericom who have there own little RDP client, which might just be the easiest solution to this Flash issue.

 

And i am unsure about another technology that is linked to wyse OS, its called TCX thats meant to sort out this issue.

 

What do you lot reckon?

 

Thanks

...the problem is - as you stack up the technologies, the costs and support implications rise - you may well end up spending more money on this solution than deploying standard W7 PCs, which we all know run multi-media perfectly, and are as future-proof as you can get....
