Citrix ADC 13 Advanced Topics – Security, Management and Optimization — Question 95

Scenario: A company acquires three smaller companies, which adds more than 1.500 employees to the organization. The current Citrix ADC appliance does NOT support adding that many users.

A Citrix Administrator needs to use a multi-tenant solution, giving each newly acquired company its own Citrix ADC for VPN access, load balancing, and a minimum of 20 Gbps of throughput.

How can the administrator meet the needs of these newly acquired companies?

Answer options

• A. Purchase a Citrix ADC CPX for each
• B. Install XenServer and configure a Citrix ADC VPX 3000 for each
• C. Purchase a Citrix ADC MPX appliance for each
• D. Purchase a Citrix ADC SDX appliance, and configure a Citrix ADC instance for each

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the Citrix ADC SDX appliance allows for multiple instances of Citrix ADC to run on a single hardware platform, effectively supporting the multi-tenant architecture required for the newly acquired companies. Options A and C involve purchasing multiple standalone appliances, which does not provide the necessary scalability and flexibility. Option B entails setting up XenServer, which adds unnecessary complexity and does not align with the need for dedicated instances for each company.
