Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The design will require three different StoreFront stores and three corresponding Citrix Workspace app for Web sites. Each different store and Citrix Workspace app for Web site will serve different business units. Each of these will also require its own branding and SSL certificate. The solution should remain supported by Citrix.
The architect has already installed StoreFront on a server.
How can the architect achieve the desired design while keeping cost and maintenance requirements to a minimum?
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. Citrix Provisioning (PVS) has been selected for image management. The PVS vDisk store requires high fault tolerance and the ability to support dual drive failure.
Which RAID level could the architect use for the PVS vDisk store?
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. Two Control Layer security requirements have been identified:
For security reasons, it is unacceptable to use default ports for FlexCast Management Architecture (FMA) services.
Management access to PowerShell and Citrix Studio should be restricted to management workstations by granular firewall rules.
Which combination of ports can the architect assign to the listed Citrix services to meet the Control Layer security requirements?
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?
A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The IT team maintains 12 Citrix Hypervisor hosts that are available to build the new Citrix environment. During the project kickoff meeting, management states:
“We need a robust infrastructure that can handle large user loads, improve IT efficiency, guarantee minimal downtime, and protect the network and its resources from corruption.”
Click the Exhibit button to view the existing infrastructure details.
Which configuration should the architect use to meet the requirements for the new Citrix environment?
Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to support a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment with 2 data centers. App Layering is being used to create layered images that are used by the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines in both data center locations. To comply with disaster recovery (DR) requirements, administrators must be able to modify and deploy layered images from either data center if needed.
Which statement correctly describes the process that the architect must follow to meet the requirements?
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new 2,000-user Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The environment will use Windows Server 2016 for all Site infrastructure components (Delivery Controllers, StoreFront servers, and Citrix Director). Machine Creation Services (MCS) will be used to provision Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines. The environment will include 2 primary use cases:
Windows Server 2016 VDA machines providing hosted applications
Windows 10 VDA machines providing random, non-persistent VDI
The IT team has NOT yet purchased the hardware that will be used for the environment, and will build the Hardware Layer components based on the architect’s recommendations.
