Reference Architecture

Dell Virtual Remote Desktop Solution Reference Architecture 17
• Network: The two onboard and one add-in dual-port gigabit NICs provide
enough bandwidth to support iSCSI target and network traffic, while
leaving the remaining PCI-e slot(s) available for additional peripherals.
The service console and XenServer management are shared on the same
NIC. To keep storage traffic isolated, a pair of independent Ethernet
switches are recommended to access iSCSI devices.
•
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.
