Who are the users and what are our requirements
How do users gain access to our resources
What resources will we deliver
How will we manage and maintain the solution

XenDesktop Cloud Provisioning – Why should I Care?
Challenges TodayPerceived
complexity • To scale, admins
required to be experts in network, storage, compute in addition to desktop virtualisation
Upfront CAPEX• Each modular
building block requires new capital expenditures with step-function cost increase
Miscalculated Demand
• Provisioning based on future demand projections are often inaccurate, leading to delayed time to value
Complexity. Unpredictability. Expense.
Drivers for Hybrid Cloud Provisioning
Flex
Examples:Seasonal Workers
Citrix migrations testing
Grow
Examples:On-board M&A
Organic usage growth
Transform
Examples:“Don’t Own Stuff”Hardware Refresh
