MCS Image Management

With the image management functionality, MCS separates the mastering phase from the overall provisioning workflow.

You can prepare an MCS image (Prepared Image) from a single source image and use it across multiple different MCS machine catalogs. This implementation significantly reduces the storage and time costs and simplifies the VM deployment and image update process.

The benefits of using this image management functionality are:

• Generate prepared images in advance without creating a catalog.
• Reuse prepared images in multiple scenarios, such as creating and updating a catalog.
• Significantly reduce catalog creation or update time.
