peripherals. The service console and management are shared on the same

NIC. To keep storage traffic isolated, Dell recommends a pair of

independent Ethernet switches to access Provisioning Servers.

Disk:

Local storage is used to store the VM configurations only.

Provisioning Server is required for storage of the VM disk.

NOTE: Using faster disks and/or adding more spindles can improve

performance on the Provisioning Server. Refer to the Citrix Provisioning

Server Reference Architecture Guide for more information.

Large Configuration

The Large Configuration is a full-feature virtualization solution targeted to

large enterprises. It consists of 17 to 32 servers, each running XenServer

Enterprise Edition. XenMotion enables efficient and dynamic provisioning

capabilities to handle peak loads and perform scheduled maintenance on

servers.

Ten Citrix Provisioning Servers are required to support streaming to 1000

VMs. A Dell FE600W is required to provide a single shared image to these

Provisioning Servers.

Refer to the Citrix Provisioning Server Reference Architecture Guide and

Deployment Guide for detailed information on shared storage in this

environment. This requires a shared storage unit to be available, typically a

Dell|Equalogix PS-5000XV configuration (not pictured).
