Citrix Access Control Administration — Question 36

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator currently manages a Citrix ADC environment for a growing retail company that may soon double its business volume. A Citrix ADC MPX 5901 is currently handling web and SSL transactions, but is close to full capacity. Due to the forecasted growth, the administrator needs to find a cost-effective solution.
Which cost-effective recommendation can the administrator provide to management to handle the growth?

Answer options

• A. A license upgrade to a Citrix ADC MPX 5905
• B. The addition of another MPX 5901 appliance
• C. A hardware upgrade to a Citrix ADC MPX 8905
• D. A hardware upgrade to a Citrix ADC SDX 15020

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct choice is A, as upgrading the license to a Citrix ADC MPX 5905 allows for better performance and capacity to handle the anticipated growth without the need for additional hardware. Options B and C involve adding or upgrading to hardware that may not be as cost-effective or efficient in managing the increased workload, while D suggests a significantly larger and more expensive solution than necessary.
