Introduction

One of the most asked question about Citrix Provisioning Server (formerly known as Ardence OS Streaming is about the performance of the system which are running with a streamed operating system.

One of my customers would like to use (at that time still named) Ardence OS Streaming for their Citrix Presentation Server. Main reasons were to guarantee that all servers (in the same silo) were 100% identical and maintaining and updating the servers becomes easier. Although they really liked the concept they would see practical results about the performance. So during the Proof of Concept were we logically tested much more options and requirements for the environment we did also a comparison load test. In the load test we fired the same scripts on a server installed the traditional physical way and one server based on Ardence OS Streaming.

Introduction

Ardence's OS-streaming capabilities represent a significant step forward in the virtualization evolution. Using Ardence software, the complete operating system can be virtualized, providing many advantages in terminal servers environments. Citrix expert Brian Madden has previously published a white paper offering a conceptual view of Ardence in combination with Citrix Presentation Server. This white paper goes a step further, actually describing how to run Citrix Presentation Server with Ardence's OS-streaming software.
