Chapter 6. Designing Your Virtual Image Delivery
In the previous chapter, we discussed how to design our Application Delivery layer. This includes the ability to deliver both desktops and applications through Citrix XenApp 7.5. We delved into designing our delivery site, Machine Catalogs, and Delivery Groups.
With this chapter, we will dig further into our design with the image delivery design. Two of the machine catalog types we touched on in the last chapter are based on Machine Creation Services (MCS) and Provisioning Services (PVS), which we will cover here. These are two of the primary delivery engines for image management.
In this chapter, you will learn about the following:
- An overview of image management
- Determining the right fit for your environment
- Understanding Citrix Machine Creation Services
- Designing Citrix Provisioning Services
