Deploying HP XenDesktop requires downloading the XenDesktop software from the Web. The
integrated XenServer hypervisor is shipped on a flash memory device such as a USB key. Customers
can power on a server with the USB key and immediately begin configuring the virtualized
environment.
Note
It is advisable to build the environment with redundancy. The entire
architecture can be made redundant with the duplication of key
components.
