Citrix list there choice of desktop delivery mechanisms into the following 4 main categories.
Hosted Shared Desktops
Provide a locked-down, streamlined and standardized environment with a core set of applications, ideally suited for task workers where personalization is not required-or appropriate.
(Think XenApp)
Hosted VDI Desktops
Offer a personalized Windows desktop experience for office workers that can be securely delivered over any network to any device. These Desktops can be Pooled or Assigned.
(Think XenDesktop with applications streamed from Xenapp)
Streamed VHD Desktops
Leverage the local processing power of rich clients, while providing centralized single-image management of the desktop. These types of desktops are often used in computer labs and training facilities, and when users require local processing for certain applications or peripherals.
Local VM Desktops
Extend the benefits of centralized, single-instance management to mobile workers that need to use their laptops offline. When they are able to connect to a suitable network, changes to the OS, applications and user data are automatically synchronized with the datacenter.
(Think XenClient)
