Dell DVS Simplified Appliance Reference Architecture
requires the ability to interact with their local desktop as well as the virtual desktop. This
package provides the toolbar functionality, allowing the user to pan and scale their virtual
desktop inside their local desktop. When a user logs into a VDI-in-a-box site to access a
virtual desktop, the web site can detect that the Citrix Desktop Receiver is absent from
endpoint devices and automatically prompt users to download and install it from the site.

Citrix XenCenter
The DVS Simplified Appliance virtual machine environment provided by Citrix XenServer
is monitored, managed and configured using Citrix XenCenter. Citrix XenCenter provides
all the VM monitoring, management and general administration functions in a single
interface including configuration, patch management and virtual machine libraries. A DVS
Simplified Appliance administrator can easily manage hundreds of virtual machines from
a centralized, highly available management console that installs on any Windows client
desktop. Citrix XenCenter‖s highly resilient distributed management architecture leverages
resource pooling to ensure that there is no single point of management failure.
