Thank you very much for the detailed info. Please advise if there are downside or disadvantages of using personal vdisk for xendesktop deployment?

Nope. With Personal vDisk you can save lot more storage space compared to Dedicated VDI. You can still provide users with static images and along with 10 GB Personal vdisk or more. This way it helps to maintain static images as well give users an option to install apps of their choice. Dedicated VDI ate up more space with previous version on XenDesktop and that's where PVS got introduced.

The one downside I have heard of is the overhead of the system 'integrating' the PVD with the system, so you incur some overhead using it. Other than that, it is supposed to be a pretty solid solution.

One last question on this thread, Personal vDisk is only possible using PVS OR can we have PVD using MCS

Coralon

It can be used with either.
