Xendesktop 5 migration opportunities

Greetings,

We have been going through a lengthy migration from vsphere 4.1 to 5.5 (new farm on new hardware). One of the last pieces is a fairly small (~100 desktops) Xendesktop (5.1sp1) with provisioning services (5.6) implementation that was done by people now long gone (ie, I don't know much about how it all works). According to a Citrix eye chart http://support.citrix.com/content/dam/supportWS/kA460000000CcD3CAK/Citrix_Support_Hypervisors.pdf the provisioning services are not compatible with 5.5.

I'm kind of lost in VMware marketecture with their constant changing of product names. What I'm hoping is for a product like what I think the View prior to 6 was that I could implement on top of ESXi 5.5. My hope is I could integrate this small environment into my main 9 node cluster (plenty of compute available) using using Resource pools and perhaps dedicated LUN's. That or standup that latest Citrix stuff.

Any enlightenment on how to proceed is appreciated.

Ron
