Introduction

SENS maintains a large Citrix environment, which we refer to as "UBiquity Citrix". It can be thought of as a "timeshare" environment for Microsoft Windows, and enables simultaneous virtual desktops for many users across the UB network. For information about our other timeshare facilities, please refer to our SENS Timeshare Facilities page.

The remainder of this page describes the hardware and software resources that comprise the Citrix cluster. For more information on the service itself, including how to log in and use it, please refer to our UBiquity Citrix page.

STORM Domain Controllers

These systems are responsible for the administration of the STORM domain, which is where the SENS-administered Citrix servers reside:

Elnino

This is the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) for the STORM Citrix domain.

Elnino is an IBM Netfinity 4000R system with two 500 MHz Intel Pentium III processors and 512 MB of RAM.
