Hi,<br />
<br />
In citrix Provisioning I understand that we can use this PVS server for Desktop booting and configure without Hard drive (Same I can do it for Server as well). <br />
But if we take only Xen desktop seenario that is also same kind of technology is using. The desktop will not have hard disk and it will run from storage (Virtual disk).<br />
<br />
Then what is difference and which one is the advantage of using.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

What is difference in between CItrix Provisioning server  and XenDesktop Server

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
