 Metaframe for the poor?, 2000-09-14
Citrix's standard Metaframe product enhances Microsoft NT 4, Terminal Server or Win 2000 (Terminal Services) by adding a range of management options and the renowned ICA presentation protocol. This makes the product a no-brainer for anybody serious about thin-client/server computing in the enterprise. The reduced price of MetaFrame /Workgroups allows smaller businesses to use the ultra-thin bandwidth of the universal ICA-client (all operating systems) and several other extensions to the basic Terminal Services of NT/2000. However, this product is fixed at a maximum of 5 users and doesn't allow some management options. As a Citrix Instructor and technical consultant with a range of experience with thin-client computing, I'd use this product in small businesses where limited (remote) access to server applications is needed. This Metaframe version is also fine for replication of the larger central installations at small sites, where one can be sure that maximum of 5 concurrent users is sufficient.
