I have heard of some manufacturers who different things, but for what vi in its project the use of an environment of SBC on VDI if make necessary. He is correct to affirm this? Today I have more than 2500 users inside of the environment of Server Terminal and a total of 55000 stations inside of the company. We are starting to make deploy to move for Seen Windows. Thank´s One asks. In this project of VDI you quotation the use of protocol RDP.

Because of the way our Telco provider is delivering the connection we can view the Mumbai office (from a network standpoint) as "the sixth office". For Mumbai extra firewalling and access control is applied because of the remote status of the office. The work done in Mumbai is done in teams based on competence: - Microsoft (mostly .Net work with Visual Studio Team System) - Java (using, among others, Eclipse, MyEclipseIDE, Altova XMLSpy and scripting work with UltraEdit) - Oracle (this could be Oracle Forms Builder, Webforms or Portal and plain PL/SQL programming with PL/SQL Developer for example) - Software testing (making testscripts and performing tests on various systems using plain Office/wordprocessing and (Mercury) QualityCenter) @AndyP,

I am working on a similiar project with connections from the US to mumbai, but from your description all the offices are local in India or am I incorrect?

As mentioned earlier we keep some physical servers separate for testing production problems on should the supplier make a problem of it being on a virtual server. The savings we have by making it virtual servers make up for the extra effort needed in such a situation. The difference is probably a lesser degree of influence from our DBA's regarding the hardware on which their servers run. We have been using VMWare GSX Server since 2002 and have been running Oracle on VM (on GSX / test and dev) since 2004 if I recall correctly. In preparation for this project we tested Oracle on VI3 as early as June / July last year so we knew it would work and that it would run production. @JeffG

It is an extention to our existing grid of five local offices. Mumbai effectively being the sixth office on that grid. The expected latency will be between 150ms and 200ms with the projection of the supplier being on the low side of that band. Planned delivery date of the Mumbai side of this connection is somewhere in May (roughly 5 weeks from now) so we will have actual data by then.

Where is the detacenter ? are you seeing any latency? Im interested in how you are connecting the sites. Where is the detacenter ?
are you seeing any latency?
