Citrix Workspace – Planning and Building — Question 92

Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to design a new XenApp and XenDesktop environment. Citrix Provisioning Services has been selected for image management.
Which two RAID levels should the architect use for the storage hosting the Provisioning Service write cache? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. RAID 0
• B. RAID 1
• C. RAID 10
• D. RAID 6
• E. RAID 5

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

RAID 1 and RAID 10 are both suitable for the write cache in a Citrix Provisioning Services environment because they provide redundancy and improve performance. RAID 1 mirrors data, ensuring data availability, while RAID 10 combines striping and mirroring for both speed and redundancy. The other options, while they offer some level of performance or redundancy, do not provide the same level of data protection or performance efficiency needed for write caching.
