[THIN] Re: Citrix Provision Server 5.0 Released to Web!

UDP is the transport layer and BXP is the protocol.

Really Is that so ? I thought it just used UDP?.   I do believe multiple
protocol options will be coming in the future though.

No, PVS uses a protocol called BXP which is block level protocol like iSCSI
except it is approximately 4x faster than iSCSI.   ICA is a remoting
protocol and not a streaming protocol.

Pardon my ignorance, but does Provisioning Server use ICA to deliver the OS
and apps?

My guess is NOT, because from reading the description it says that app.
processing takes place at the desktop.

 

We'd like to use diskless PCs and deliver the OS and apps via the network.

 

Our experience with ICA has been that is slow for real-time apps.

Just received the following notification from Citrix
Provisioning Server 5.0 (Project Charles) has officially been released to
web (RTW)! 

 What does this mean:

ü  Existing PVS customers can download Provisioning Server 5.0 as of today
(as a Benefit of Subscription Advantage).

 

ü  All net-new customers will not be able to directly purchase Provisioning
Server 5.0 until September 1, 2008.  This is when the new Media Kit SKUs are
available for sale.

 

ü  If a new or existing customer purchases Provisioning Server today, they
will receive Provisioning Server 4.5 SP1 as part of the original order, but
will also have the ability to download Provisioning Server 5.0 via their
MyCitrix account.
