No updated on my end, I follow these basic rules for all of our Citrix VMs (my team also manages Citrix). Do you know what version of presentation server they are running? Is the web interface virtualized as well? What are they indicating is "slow"? At my day job we are running all of our presentation servers, and 2 load balanced web servers completely on VM. We haven't had any issues at all with Citrix on VM, especially since we started using ESX 4.X when it was released. The main thing I suggest for Citrix VMs is to almost always use 1vCPU. Hey Mike..

Our Citrix administrators complain about Citrix being virtualized...etc. I just don't want them to say "we can't virtualize Citrix because it is slow, bad...etc" Thanks! Steve,

I just don’t want them to say “we can’t virtualize Citrix because it is slow, bad…etc”

Thanks!
