Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Administration — Question 43

Scenario: Users in a XenApp and XenDesktop environment need to access training videos, but CPU resources on the Virtual Delivery Agents (VDAs) should be preserved. However, the access to videos is limited to the VDAs only.
Which multimedia rendering policy should a Citrix configure to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Server fetching and server rendering
• B. Media content blocked
• C. Client fetching and client rendering
• D. Server fetching and client rendering

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as 'Server fetching and client rendering' allows the server to handle the video content retrieval, reducing the load on the VDAs while the client manages the rendering. Options A and B are not suitable because they either do not preserve VDA CPU resources effectively or block media content entirely. Option C would increase VDA CPU usage by requiring client-side rendering, which is not desired in this scenario.
