Citrix Workspace – Planning and Building — Question 109

Scenario: A Citrix Architect designed an environment where policies will be deployed using Workspace Environment Management (WEM). The architect decided to install two WEM Infrastructure Services servers in order to meet the expected load in the environment.
What should the architect do to ensure that both servers can be utilized in the environment?

Answer options

• A. Enter both server names in the Agent Host Configuration so that both servers will be actively contacted.
• B. Configure a load-balancing virtual IP (VIP) on a Citrix ADC appliance so that both servers can actively receive communications.
• C. Enter both server names in the Agent Host Configuration; the first server listed will be contacted first; the second server will be in a standby capacity until needed.
• D. Configure two virtual IPs (VIPs) on a Citrix ADC appliance: one for the primary server, and one for the backup server.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because configuring a load-balancing virtual IP (VIP) on a Citrix ADC appliance allows both WEM Infrastructure Services servers to actively receive requests, ensuring efficient load distribution. Option A is incorrect as it does not provide load balancing, and Option C incorrectly implies that only one server will be active at a time. Option D suggests using separate VIPs which does not allow for simultaneous active usage.
