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.
