[AccessD] Virtualization

 D ear List:

 
I had a dealer in Belgium note that virtualization is a big buzz word now
and wondered how E-Z-MRP would do in that environment.  I wrote back that I
didn't know what aspect of virtualization he was thinking of in regard to
E-Z-MRP.  So he wrote back:
 
"Re per virtualization... I'm just wondering, as I read E-Z-MRP can be setup
as 'client-server', if the program is installed on a server, if there is a
possibility to use thin clients to act as 'clients' and further, if the
application can be installed on a Citrix server and be distributed and
accessed as a 'published application'."
 
E-Z-MRP is a straightforward FE/BE app with an mde on the front end and an
mdb on the back end.
 
How does this fare under Citrix?  It would seem to be OK under a thin client
setup except that it seems to me that would mean a lot more traffic over the
wire.  
 
What should I tell him?
