    Hi guys,

    Have you had the chance to test and see how Citrix Browser Content Redirection feature works in real life with Wyse 3040 clients and 9.x firmware?

    I was thinking to use this feature for our internal/intranet live/dynamic reporting websites which perform poorly in Citrix while work much better on fat clients, laptops or desktops. I’ve been playing with Citrix Policies (Video Codecs, Frames Per Second, Visual Quality) but this doe not really help much for our internal reporting web pages and they still tend to be slow, laggy of behind on Citrix clients.

    I thought that maybe Browse Content Redirection would help.
    Are you guys able to answer the below questions?

    1. Does it actually give users a better experience?
    2. Would this work for multiple websites opened on 3040s, i.e. in multiple Chrome tabs if you enable BCR in Citrix Policies for ALL sites users open (not just for a number of whitelisted URLs)?
    3. What impact on Wyse 3040 CPU and memory usage does BCR it have? I am asking as I have the chance to buy Wyse 5070 ThinOS clients and was wondering if the more powerful client would give users any better experience if it comes about BCR.

    Thanks!

    You ever end up testing this out? I’m curious about trying Browser Content Redirection with Wyse 3040s

    Hi,

    No, I did not test it in the end. Instead, I used another thin client type that allows using a local browser instead of Citrix.

    Greetings! The answer to your question “What impact on Wyse 3040 CPU and memory usage does BCR it have? I am asking as I have the chance to buy Wyse 5070 ThinOS clients and was wondering if the more powerful client would give users any better experience if it comes about BC”, is yes. The 3040 is designed for task users not using multiple published applications or desktops. The 5070 will provide a better user experience, specifically the version with Pentium.

    There is a Dell document that discusses how to configure Citrix Browser Content Redirection policies for Wyse ThinOS 9.

    Hopefully, this helps you with your questions.
