Citrix Presentation Server Load Management - Part 3: Load Evaluators
Wednesday, 03 January 2007 by Michel Roth
Duane Bradley's second article on Citrix Load Balancing has been published on MSTerminalServices.org: Citrix Presentation Server Load Management - Part 3: Load Evaluators.

"The final part of this three-part series will provide insight into the Citrix supplied load evaluators and the many available load evaluator rules. Several tips for creating custom load evaluators along with suggestions for successful monitoring to ensure the success of a load management strategy will complete the load management picture."

"Of all the components in the load management subsystem, load evaluators and load evaluator rules are probably the most misunderstood. It is quite common to find Citrix Presentation Server farms using the “Default” load evaluator and often times administrators don’t even realize this load evaluator is in use. If no load evaluators are specifically assigned to a Presentation Server, the “Default” load evaluator will be applied to that particular server automatically. Is the “Default” load evaluator satisfactory for most Presentation Server environments? In most cases the answer to this question is “no”, but there are exceptions which should be explored in more depth."
