Have played in the past - complex and overkill. Bvckup2 is a way better option for that sort of data
@Leee Jeffries is awesome with this stuff

Nice one...they are already talking about FSL CC.. just trying to understand how active / active can work with SR with the DCs being miles apart..
j
Lol it can’t is the long and short of it - SR is a replica with failover

Yeah, makes sense... as I just got told they have disabled active / active due to long logon time lol Sounds like a job for cloud cache 🙂

Or use CPM multi location functionality - replicate user stores

Active / Active is always tricky. I've done this with DFSR before but it tends to add quite a bit of overhead in managing profiles. You need to make sure they're not too large so exclusions need to be spot on. Never use Active Writeback with this solution as it'll send your replication nuts. Cloud Cache works great, I love it. Storage Replicas as James said are active/passive. Bvckup is very cool and again just works. I've not tested CPM multi location yet but I want to.

Cheers @Leee Jeffries. Same, yet to try the new CPM features...
Lads, had my first look around first hand on this one... Citrix Cloud is the control plane... they have 2 DC locations running ADC/GSLB with x2 SF and x2 CC's in each... as its technically one site from a Citrix perspective there isnt any option for SF Aggregation.. they have recently resized the File servers hosting Citrix profiles (2 clusters in each site with SR to the partner). They are light on doco, Ive yet to understand how they are placing profiles in their home/pinned location... the File server have 20Gb cards... the link its 200Gb between sites (theres is around 4TB of profile/User data)... I will review the config in detail today.. theres a load of features detailed here which I doubt they have implemented... https://www.darrylvanderpeijl.com/windows-server-2016-networking-optimizing-network-settings/

If they are using CPM and not FSLogix then jumbo frames will give a negligible performance boost with 20GB cards, just because all the files are small. NUMA is good for any server but not always possible for infra. RSS sure, that'll make a difference for lots of small file transfers, VM Queueing IMO if negligible, depends on HyperVisor. I did note some specific file server enhancements for James Rankin a while back and it did give him a little boost. https://james-rankin.com/features/the-ultimate-guide-to-windows-logon-optimizations-part-5/ Windows file servers are pretty good at doing the job out the box but all the little things that need tweaking are usually HyperVisor / Use Case dependent. All of this is a great info though.

Nice one @Leee Jeffries - I just noticed this reply, cheers 🙂
Some nice tweaks/results in there, Leee 🙂
