Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Configure and Manage — Question 108

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is maintaining a Citrix Virtual Apps environment. The engineer has recently noticed two single-threaded applications consistently consuming 25% of the CPU resources, causing substantial performance issues for users of these servers. The engineer has deployed Workspace Environment
Management (WEM) within the infrastructure and enabled CPU Spikes Protection.
What else can the engineer enable within WEM to address this issue?

Answer options

• A. Exclude Specified Processes and add the two problem applications
• B. Process Affinity and add the two problem applications
• C. CPU Clamping and set it to 10% for the two problem applications
• D. Limit Sample Time and set it to 10% for the two problem applications

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as CPU Clamping allows the engineer to limit the CPU usage of specific applications, thereby reducing their impact on overall server performance. Options A and B do not directly address the CPU usage issue, while D pertains to sample time rather than direct CPU limitation, making it less effective for this scenario.
