. IT departments often use products, such as terminal servers, that provide a stable but 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 BL35p | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLian - Page 3
assign users to dedicated or pooled virtual desktops. Using endpoints that support XenDesktop, such as thin clients, eliminates the need for local hard bulk of the processing to occur in the data center. Along with server and data center consolidation, this can lead to higher utilization, and - HP ProLiant BL35p | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLian - 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 BL35p | Citrix XenDesktop architecture and implementation on ProLian - Page 5
