Hi there,

Does anyone have any experience of Celcat in a virtualised server environment (any manufacturer), or delivery of the Celcat client through Microsoft's MDOP and SoftGrid?

We are currently only in the consideration phase of our project - licensing costs could stop such an environment being effective - but I would be interested to hear from anyone with any experience of Celcat in such an environment.

Regards,

Hi Chris,

We have moved Celcat server to a virtual server (VMWare).

The client has been moved to our new citrix farm, which are also virtual servers.

We haven't had any issues from a virtual point of view, I did have some trouble with the DCOM settings etc on the new (virtual) server, when I thought I understood it all pretty well beforehand, but it all works well.

Hi Gippstafe,

Thanks for the information - it may be very helpful to know that Timetabler works in such a configuration.

Anyone any experience with other vendors?
