The Citrix Session: Pure PVS Provisioning for Pacesetting Public Sector Purposes!

Citrix Provisioning Services (PVS) is one of the two image
management technologies available in Citrix Virtual Apps and
Desktops and Citrix DaaS.  Historically PVS has been used to
deliver Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop workloads (VDA's) to
servers and virtual machines from a single image over the
network.  However, it can also be used without CVAD/DaaS as
a standalone product, physically streaming the OS disk to an
endpoint device. These endpoint devices can be “dummy terminals”
with no hard drives at all, zero/thin clients, high-end compute
and graphics devices, and everything in between.  This can
include additional use cases for Security and locations with
devices without hard drives.


 In this episode we discuss the history of PVS and some of
its applicable use cases.  We also cover some technical
aspects of PVS and the benefits enabled by the roll-forward and
roll-back of images.
