RDM Light
0 vote
Hi,
I'm planning to rollout RDM for the whole company, but I have some resource concerns. RDM ist really using a lot of memory., roughly 100MB per RDP Session.
The RDM client is installed on a Citrix Server and resources are limited. I've tried changing the cache to "small", but the effect was only about 5% less memory usage.
Most citrix terminal users will be starting the RDM out of a application with a command line. The users don't need the menus and dashboards of RDM, just a window with the single RDP Session in it.
Is there a RDM light or portable version, that doesn't consume that much memory? Maybe a RDM Window with only the RDP Session in it?
Cheers,
Chris

Hello,
RDM is using the Microsoft ActiveX and it should consume approximatively the same amount of memory per RDP connection. We have another product called Devolutions Launcher that you could give it a try depending of the data source you use (Devolutions Hub Business or Devolutions Server). This is a kind of RDM light: https://devolutions.net/launcher
Could you try to open the About dialog after you have opened few sessions? This action will trigger the .NET garbage collector and you will see the real memory usage. Sometime it could be misleading with .NET because it does not reclaim the memory until it's really needed (for performance reason). By the way, how many session do you have in your data source?
