Citrix Workspace – Planning and Building — Question 43

Scenario: A Citrix Architect must perform a Provisioning Services (PVS) design for a healthcare organization. The initial design places all PVS farm components in the organization's primary datacenter. The customer asks whether the vDisk can be streamed from PVS servers in the primary datacenter to target devices located in a secondary datacenter in another region while maintaining good performance. The datacenters are connected with a 10 GB link with approximately 20 ms of latency.
The architect recommends against the organization pursuing this approach.
Which statement is a relevant reason for the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. The configuration does NOT provide sufficient bandwidth for streaming traffic.
• B. This configuration does NOT provide sufficient connectivity between the PVS servers and the farm database
• C. This configuration prevents the Subnet Affinity feature from being implemented.
• D. This configuration would include too much latency for the streaming traffic.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Subnet Affinity feature relies on having the target devices and the PVS servers within the same subnet to optimize streaming and performance. The other options do not directly address the specific limitation imposed by the geographic separation of the datacenters and are not pertinent to the recommendation against this approach.
