Citrix users,

What is your feeling about running non-OneWorlld applications along with OneWorld on the same Citrix box ? Do you isolate OW to it's own box, zone, farm etc ?
Thanks.

Metaframe XPe FR2 is what we plan to use.
 
Well I don't think JDE recommends it but we deliver all of our applications via one citrix server farm including 5250 emulation, GUI based CRM application, OneWorld and the MS Office suite. It is reasonably stable but we have had some isolated issues (the yellow telephones) which I believe will be resolved when our ctx servers are upgraded to Xp. If you separate the OneWorld application to it's own farm you may get benefits in stability but the business benefits are lessened as you need more servers and will have less redundancy for load balancing and failures.
 
Soyer :

I could run OneWorld with some non OneWorld applications,
no problems so far!
These applications are :

MS Office 95-97-2000-XP
Visual C++ 6.0 SP5 (for remote developers)
Lotus Notes R5 (Mail Client)
MS Exchange Mail Client
A couple of home made VB 6.0 applications
