  1. Recommended configuration above is for a Single Citrix Server or the First Server in a Citrix Farm.

  3. Hardware used with ARIA must be approved based on the current Microsoft® specifications.
  4. 1 Gbps network recommended for maximum speed and performance.
  5. Hard Drive Partitions (2) with OS → C:=12GB; APP → D:=24GB
  6. ARIA for Medical Oncology will normally support approximately 50 concurrent users on one (1) Citrix Server.
  7. ARIA for Radiation Oncology will normally support the following concurrent users per one (1) Citrix Server:
    ARIA Clients
    (Patient Manager, Time Planner, ...)    		30Textual data
    Radiation Oncology
    (RTChart, ...)    		20 – 30Textual and 2-D Image data
    Eclipse10Textual and 2-D/3-D Image data
  8. Additional Citrix Server is recommended if high availability load balancing is desired for each configured set of users (N+1 configuration).
  9. Additional Citrix Servers should be planned and accounted based on concurrent user count.
  10. Virtualization of Citrix Servers is currently not supported.

    11. A second Citrix Server is recommended if high availability load balancing is desired for each set of 50 users (N+1 configuration).
