Question 11

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new, 2,000-user XenApp and XenDesktop environment. The environment will use Windows Server 2016 for all Site infrastructure components (Delivery Controllers, StoreFront servers, Provisioning Services servers, Citrix Director). Provisioning Services (PVS) will be used to provision Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines. The environment will include two primary use cases:
Windows Server 2016 VDA machines providing hosted apps

Windows 10 VDA machines providing random, non-persistent VDI

Within the company there is existing hardware which is hosting non-Citrix workloads. The hardware, which is using a third party hypervisor, has some spare capacity, but NOT enough to support the entire XenApp and XenDesktop environment. As a result, the IT team is planning to purchase additional hardware to support the expected capacity but has NOT determined which hypervisor will be used for that hardware. The IT team would like to utilize the existing hardware and wants to minimize the long-term costs of the solution while still providing a good user experience.
How should the architect design the hypervisor resource pools based on Citrix leading practice?
  • Question 12

    Scenario: Engineers at a new company developed their product and infrastructure in Microsoft Azure. The engineers have reached out to a Citrix Architect to help design an Azure infrastructure to support publishing applications using the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service. Costs need to be kept to a minimum.
    Which Azure virtual machine (VM) series provides the lowest cost per user while also providing good performance?
  • Question 13

    Which access component will support anonymous access within a new environment?
  • Question 14

    Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment for a company with 2 branch offices connected over a WAN link. Each location will maintain its own Citrix Site and be configured for disaster recovery (DR) to allow users to failover if 1 Site has an outage. Management wants to implement a strong profile solution to manage user profiles. Each user maintains a profile that consists of user documents, application settings, and other personalization settings that must be available to them at all times.
    Which step should the architect perform to ensure that profile requirements are met?
  • Question 15

    Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. As part of the graphics-mode design considerations, the architect determined that one User Group requires pixel-perfect images at all times.
    Which graphics mode should the architect recommend be configured for this specific group?
