XenDesktop® storage requirements
You need a place to store the XenDesktop system database, and it uses a SQL Server. In a Proof-of-Concept or test environment such as ours, we can use the local disk of the XenDesktop Delivery Controller to install a SQL Server. A SQL Server is installed with the XenDesktop product; you just have to specify where you want it to live. Each component in XenDesktop has minimum storage requirements as explained in the following table:
