In an installation like this, more than two Citrix servers are needed. To optimize performance, it is a good idea to distribute the load as evenly as possible between available Citrix servers. This is something that Citrix can handle in an elegant fashion with so-called “load balancing”. This means however, that a user may end up in different Citrix servers at different times. Therefore, so-called “roaming profiles” are used, which will make that procedure transparent to the user. The user profile with personal directories like the desktop, My documents and the cadett ELSA workstation directory, will be part of a personal profile that will be automatically copied to the Citrix server that the user happens to login to.

 

The same dimensioning rules apply to this installation type, as for the previously discussed.
