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 ). The agents communicate with XenDesktop and control the start/stop of the virtual desktops - HP DL740 | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLiant servers - 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 DL740 | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLiant servers - 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 DL740 | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLiant servers - Page 5
each other in the management of HP-integrated Citrix XenServer on HP ProLiant hardware. HP has tightly integrated Citrix XenServer into HP ProLiant server platforms (Figure 4) to enable fast and straightforward installation, configuration and virtual machine management.

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 - HP DL740 | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLiant servers - Page 7
to create an unlimited number of virtual machines per server, with up to 32 GB memory per virtual machine. Citrix 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 - HP DL740 | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLiant servers - Page 8
which must support hardware virtualization. - Minimum recommended clock speed 1.5 GHz. - Memory - minimum 4-GB RAM - Disk - 32-GB storage - Network Interface Card (NIC) - 100 Mbps (megabits per second) or faster network interface card • Endpoints - A device running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or - HP DL740 | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLiant servers - Page 9
=3801993. 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 - HP DL740 | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLiant servers - Page 10
Windows drivers HP's remote client portfolio of desktop virtualization solutions. Desktop and mobile thin clients are solid-state devices that connect over a network to a centralized server where all processing and storage takes place, providing reduced maintenance costs, minimal application updates - HP DL740 | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLiant servers - Page 11
as USB key, CD-ROM or even a laptop hard drive. Thin clients that are properly configured memory speeds to function. Thin clients do not have failure-prone components such as hard disk drives. These two factors are large drivers for short desktop refresh cycles. Extending refresh by one to two years - HP DL740 | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLiant servers - Page 12
