Citrix ADC 13 Administrator — Question 67

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator currently manages a NetScaler environment in a retail company that is growing quickly and may soon double its volume of business. Currently, a NetScaler MPX 5550, which handles web and SSL transactions, is in place, but is close to full capacity. Due to the forecasted growth increase, the administrator needs to find a cost-effective solution.
What can the administrator recommend to management in order to cost effectively handle the growth?

Answer options

• A. Perform license upgrade to NetScaler MPX 5650
• B. Perform hardware upgrade to NetScaler SDX 14100
• C. Perform hardware upgrade to NetScaler MPX 8005
• D. Another MPX 5550 appliance

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as upgrading the license to NetScaler MPX 5650 allows the administrator to enhance performance without incurring the higher costs associated with new hardware. Options B and C involve more significant investments in new hardware that may not be justified at this stage, while option D would not increase capacity sufficiently to handle the expected growth.
