I'm looking for a handful of participants to test the closed beta of the commercial software product called "*PVS Forge"*.
PVS Forge takes the complexity out of the entire vDisk lifecycle. With a
single click, a vDisk is created, distributed, imported, cataloged, and analyzed. The admin doesn't need to be present — PVS Forge sends a notification, e.g. by email, once the job is done. This brings
MCS-style automation to PVS — and goes beyond it: PVS Forge tracks the full lifecycle of every vDisk, lets you compare old and new versions, and shows you exactly what changed. And if that's not enough, you can run an AI analysis on any vDisk and get valuable insights before going into production. Versioning with difference disks was only ever a workaround for the cumbersome vDisk creation process — with PVS Forge, it's no longer needed.
What you get with PVS Forge:
• vDisk creation without PXE boot, Citrix ImagingWizard, vDisk attach, etc.
• Smart, parallel multi-vDisk creation
• Automatic synchronization of local volumes (stores)
• Answers the questions: When was a vDisk created — and what's inside?
• AI-powered vDisk analysis with valuable insights
• vDisk storage overview across all PVS servers
• Automatic sealing/unsealing of common services
• Support for custom pre- and post-sealing scripts
• Email, Teams, and Slack notifications
• Built-in error diagnostics
• And many more things to discover ;-)
Interested in joining the closed beta?
Ideally, you have at least two PVS servers, local volumes (stores), and one or more master targets. Enjoy testing and giving feedback?
Then apply now at
PVSforge@koetzingit.de with your

As a beta participant, you'll get access to the product website, the product documentation, a 180-day trial license, support if you run into issues — and we're always happy to hear your ideas for future features.
