So the name of the game is Provisioning Services! – updated

For a while there i actually thought Provisioning Server was going to be too expensive for massive deployment, a strong tool only meant for the large organisations. However with the new releases and updates it seems the strategy has changed to target a wider deployment.

So where is the Provisioning Services being included in existing products(as far as i have heard for now):

XenApp Platinum Customers will receive Provisioning Service for Physical XenApp Servers
Update: i was corrected that this also goes for virtual servers, but only XenApp, no WI,SQL, exchange etc.(thanks to Chrisitan Fenneberg for actually reading what i write not what i think i wrote)

Citrix Essentials for XenServer Enterprise will receive Provisioning Service for the Virtual Machines running on the Host

Citrix Essentials for XenServer Platinum will receive Provisioning Service for Virtual and Physical machines

Features 

Citrix Essentials for Hyper-V Enterprise and Platinum will receive Provisioning Service for Virtual Machines on the Hyper-V host

I do think this will make a difference as i definitely think Provisioning Services(server) will be able to save money on the management of XenApp Server.

Thanx Joe for the heads-up and thanx to Nicolai Jensen and Christian Luckow for the help in clearing up the details :-)
