Faster provisioning

In addition, the HP and Citrix XenDesktop solution provides faster provisioning of virtual desktops
using Citrix Provisioning Server, and it also provides the ability to dynamically allocate virtual
machines between different types of systems. When using the Provisioning Server, after building the
desktop that is to be provisioned (replicated) to the pool, XenDesktop manages the number of virtual
desktops active at a given time based on preset rules. Provisioning uses operating streaming
technology to deliver a single, standard desktop image on-demand to the virtual desktop running in
the data center. The shared desktop image is centrally configured, delivered, and managed.

Versions of XenDesktop available from HP

HP offers Citrix XenDesktop in three integrated packages on select HP ProLiant servers.
• Citrix XenDesktop HP Standard Edition
