Citrix Provisioning Server for Desktops uses streaming technology to deliver both operating systems and applications on‑demand from the network. This allows IT to provision desktops instantly, enabling centralized management while also providing the uncompromised user experience of a full PC.

Using Citrix Provisioning Server for Desktops, organizations can replace the traditional model for provisioning, configuration and management of desktop PCs, which assumes that a full copy of the operating system is loaded onto each client.

Citrix Provisioning Server for Desktops provides these features and benefits:

Lowers Total Cost of Ownership

• ces operating expenses through simplified and streamlined desktop configuration, delivery, maintenance and management. All desktop IT operations are centralized ‑ no software is preinstalled or permanently installed on the desktop. Desktops are stateless until streamed to.
