log on, as well as high-speed network responsiveness. Citrix XenDesktop allows both medium and HP ProLiant servers. XenServer can be used as a stand-alone virtual machine server or upgraded and combined with other ProLiant servers running the HP integrated Citrix XenServer to create pools of servers - HP ProLiant DL380p | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLia - Page 3
to dedicated or pooled virtual desktops. Using endpoints that support XenDesktop, such as thin clients, eliminates the need for local hard drives and allows the bulk of the processing to occur in the data center. Along with server and data center consolidation, this can lead to higher utilization - HP ProLiant DL380p | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLia - Page 4
an extension of the physical platform, allowing ProLiant customers to easily deploy and manage a virtual server the same way they deploy and manage a physical server HP ProLiant Virtual Console The HP/Citrix XenDesktop product combines HP-integrated Citrix XenServer with Citrix XenDesktop to develop - HP ProLiant DL380p | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLia - Page 5
server or even a network. HP PVC is included as a standard feature and is only available in the HP editions of XenServer. The HP PVC management tool is included as part of the HP-integrated Citrix XenServer and is designed to allow management of virtual machines and a single physical ProLiant server - HP ProLiant DL380p | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLia - Page 6

XenServer HP Standard Edition leverages an HP ProLiant server's direct-attached storage (DAS). Customers who choose the HP BladeSystem platform can expand their storage capacity by using an SB40c storage blade, which occupies an adjacent slot in the Blade Enclosures.

for more extensive management for HP ProLiant servers and storage. HP VMM is an extension of HP SIM capabilities, providing the unified management for both physical and virtual machines. HP VMM provides central management and control capabilities for VMware, Microsoft and Citrix XenServer virtual - HP ProLiant DL380p | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLia - Page 9
number of users the XenServer solution can support is directly related to the amount of available memory.

Thin clients do not have failure-prone components such as hard disk drives. These two factors are large drivers - HP ProLiant DL380p | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLia - Page 12
