Provisioning Services Stream Process Architecture
Server and Desktop Provisioning
Virtualize
Create a virtual image of a server’s or Desktop’s
workload: OS, applications and configuration
Store
Store the virtual workload image on a network
storage device
Stream
Stream the workload image on-demand to virtual and
bare-metal servers/Endpoints

Provisioning Server For Desktops
Using Citrix Provisioning Server for Desktops OS-streaming functionality, two Virtual
Disks are created – one configured with the Windows XP operating system and
software and one with Windows Vista and software. The vDisks are stored as files on
the network.
Provisioning Server For Desktops
LAN-connected “diskless” workstation.
No software pre-loaded and the system
is configured to boot from the network.
Provisioning Server For Desktops
The XP operating system and software vDisk is
streamed to the desktop using Citrix Provisioning
Server for Desktops OS-streaming functionality.
Workstation is powered on.
Provisioning Server For Desktops
Workstation image delivery and management are
centralised; data security is assured because
there is no persistent storage at the desktop.
PC processing power is harnessed for an
uncompromised user experience.
Provisioning Server For Desktops
Workstation image delivery and management are
centralised; data security is assured because
there is no persistent storage at the desktop.
Provisioning the workstation with the Vista vDisk is
quickly accomplished
by rebooting.

TFTP Redundancy
• DHCP Option 66 only allows for one TFTP server to be entered.
• Using TFTP Clustered Servers or PXE Service instead of DHCP
options will solve this issue.

Pros
Cons
• Easy to setup
• Performance due to SMB traffic
• Free with OS
• Lack of scalability
• Hard drives are cheap
• HA requires two plus servers
 Easy to setup
 Device typically less expensive than SAN
device
 Built in redundancy for disks (depends on
vendor/model)
 Various vendors/models
•Less expensive solutions equal single
point of failure
• Scalability can be an issue depending
on vendor/model purchased
Storage Redundancy (continued)
iSCSI to NAS Device
iSCSI to SAN Device
 Moderate to setup
 Device typically less expensive than SAN
device
 Built in redundancy for disks (depends on
vendor/model)
 Various vendors/models offer resiliency
benefits
•Highly scalable
•Built in resiliency
•Build in features like storage replication and
high performance disk arrays
•Less expensive solutions equal single
point of failure
•Scalability can be an issue depending
on vendor/model purchased
•Requires cluster file system when
sharing LUN across multiple servers
•Moderate to complex to setup
•Typically more expensive than NAS
devices
•Requires cluster file system when
sharing LUN across multiple servers

• Less traffic on the network
 Easy to setup
 Less hardware needed.
• Multiple servers needed
• More expensive
•More broadcast traffic on the network
