Citrix Metaframe Access Suite for Windows Server 2003 Review by Tim Reeser

Author Rebuttal

Seven expert technical reviewers from VectorESP, ECC, Osborne, and Citrix reviewed the Chapter 12 content, and we are very confident in its technical accuracy and the separation between the UNIX and Windows content. On the Datastor options, we discussed all available options (including Oracle, MSDE, and DB2) on page 359, but we chose to provide a step-by-step guide only for SQL, since Citrix claims that over 80% of the datastores in the field today are on SQL. The advantage of picking only one of the choices for a step-by-step in-depth discussion was that this allowed readers a true in-depth look, rather than just a brush by look that could have been provided if we tried to cover all the choices. Additionally, we discussed the datastor design options in depth in the design chapters of the book, which outline a very rigorous and strict approach to all aspects of the solution.
As future reviews will attest to, we are very confident that this book is unique and much more in depth than the other guides when it comes to networking, security, and disaster recovery aspects of Server-Based Computing.
