Citrix Workspace – Planning and Building — Question 21

Scenario: A large retail environment includes a StoreFront server group with two servers, each with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM. The server group handles about
25,000 user connections per hour, with a majority of the users accessing the environment using native Receiver. Workspace Control has been disabled for the environment.
A Citrix Architect learns that the company will soon merge with another retail chain. The XenApp and XenDesktop environment must double its capacity, and the
StoreFront server group is expected to handle about 40,000 user connections per hour.
What should the architect do to meet the expected load while maintaining high availability with optimal resource allocation for the StoreFront component?

Answer options

• A. Add a third StoreFront server with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM.
• B. Allocate an additional 2 vCPUs to each existing StoreFront server.
• C. Train users to begin accessing the environment using Receiver for Web.
• D. Allocate an additional 2 GB of RAM to each existing StoreFront server.
• E. Enable Workspace Control for all StoreFront stores.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because enabling Workspace Control allows for better load balancing and resource management across the StoreFront servers, which is crucial for handling the increased user connections. The other options, while potentially beneficial, do not address the need for improved session management and load distribution necessary for high availability under the new load requirements.
