Figure 2. XenDesktop architecture Why use the HP integrated XenServer? A side effect of virtual machine software such as Citrix XenServer is that it hides unique ProLiant features and impedes full platform management. Affected HP technologies include iLO Advanced Pack, OEM versions of Microsoft Windows Server products, Remote Graphics Software (RGS) for virtual desktop applications (VDI), and HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) software. Therefore, HP developed the HP ProLiant Virtual Console (PVC) solution to expose ProLiant features in a virtualized environment. This solution models the virtual platform as 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 a unique XenDesktop solution that is simpler to deploy and manage. The HP/Citrix XenDesktop product uses HP PVC to remove the complexity from virtualization installations and provide management capabilities unique to HP (Figure 3). 4
