Yesterday at the Citrix Launchpad: Cloud event, we heard some exciting announcements around our App Delivery and Security Service, service continuity, Citrix’s value-add benefits for Azure Virtual Desktop, and more. We also heard about two exciting new technologies that are currently in preview — Citrix Provisioning (PVS) on Azure and Citrix Image Portability.

Citrix Image Portability service dramatically simplifies and streamlines the management of images across platforms, which facilitates managing images between an on-premises resource location and one in a public cloud, like Azure. Citrix Provisioning has been a beloved Citrix technology for over a decade. It’s is a streaming technology that delivers OS images including applications, patches, updates, and other information to virtual and physical machines. PVS used to be a technology that was exclusive to on-prem customers. During the Citrix Launchpad: Cloud event, we announced PVS on public cloud, which is currently in preview.

During the next three weeks we will have special episodes of The Click-Down podcast, to dive deeper into some of the announcements made during our Launchpad events. You can check out all the Citrix Launchpad: Cloud announcements here.

In this episode of The Click-Down podcast, we’re joined by Daniel Lazar, Sr. Product Manager, to talk about Image Portability Service, and by Simon Graham, Senior Architect of Citrix Provisioning, to discuss the PVS on public cloud announcement. We talk about what Image Portability service is and how it differs from Citrix App Layering. We also look at different use cases for both Image Portability Service and PVS on public cloud. Daniel and Simon discuss exactly how Image Portability and PVS on public cloud work, some of the exciting things that are in the works, and what customers need to get this up and running.
