Got it. Well, we also have an HCL for storage controllersr for your server - so any of these with local storage would also support IntelliCache thereby enabling you to use Quick Deploy instead of PVS with "different but similar" benefits to IOPS. -Tal

Hi there, Tal Klein from Citrix here. I'm chiming in because I think in your particular XenDesktop VDI situation you'd probably reap the benefits of XenServer IntelliCache. There's a pretty decent article about it from Brian Madden. The reason I say that is because in your case with going pure VDI for less than 200 desktops, you might want to use MCS (Quick Deploy) instead of PVS (Provisioning Services). With MCS+IntelliCache you'd get similar benefits to PVS with less infrastructure. Also, to guide you on storage, the XenServer storage HCL list is here. I'll try to stay active on this forum because I see a lot of interesting discussion, but if you ever need technical help re: XD feel free to send me a DM. I may marketing in my title, but I come from a long engineering background - my job is mostly to keep marketing (both ours and our competitors) honest -Tal

Hi there, Tal from Citrix here. I'm not allowed to talk about pricing because of the terms of this board, but I just wanted to chime in and mention that Soulfish's pricing is correct and up to date. -Tal
