HP ProLiant BL660c Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLia - Page 6

Figure 4. Integration of HP ProLiant servers in the VDI environment Additional information about the HP ProLiant Virtual Console is available from the technology brief "Integrated hypervisor virtualization technologies in HP BladeSystem ProLiant server blades and ProLiant servers": http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01518167/c01518167.pdf. Faster provisioning In addition, the HP and Citrix XenDesktop solution provides faster provisioning of virtual desktops using Citrix Provisioning Server, and it also provides the ability to dynamically allocate virtual machines between different types of systems. When using the Provisioning Server, after building the desktop that is to be provisioned (replicated) to the pool, XenDesktop manages the number of virtual desktops active at a given time based on preset rules. Provisioning uses operating streaming technology to deliver a single, standard desktop image on-demand to the virtual desktop running in the data center. The shared desktop image is centrally configured, delivered, and managed. Versions of XenDesktop available from HP HP offers Citrix XenDesktop in three integrated packages on select HP ProLiant servers. • Citrix XenDesktop HP Standard Edition • Citrix XenDesktop HP Advanced Edition • Citrix XenDesktop HP Enterprise Edition 6
