Introduction

The Dell Desktop Virtualization Solutions (DVS) Simplified 1020 is a Dell PowerEdge T620 system or a PowerEdge R720

system powered by Citrix VDI-in-a-Box (VIAB) and the hypervisor of your choice:

• Citrix XenServer

• Microsoft Hyper-V

• VMware vSphere ESXi

This document provides the necessary steps required to configure the Dell DVS Simplified 1020 appliance.

NOTE: If the Dell PowerEdge T620 or the PowerEdge R720 systems do not meet your requirements, choose from the

list of supported Dell PowerEdge systems available in the Solution Guide at dell.com/support.

NOTE: The configuration must meet or exceed capabilities of the locked appliance solution. Although the platforms

are compatible, performance and workload capabilities are dependent upon the CPU, memory, and hard drive

specifications of the solution.

NOTE: If you choose from one of the supported systems, the Dell DVS Simplified 1020 software is not factory-

installed.
