Citrix Workspace – Planning and Building — Question 95

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because configuring a load-balancing virtual IP (VIP) allows both WEM Infrastructure Services servers to actively handle requests, ensuring optimal resource utilization. Option A is incorrect as it suggests separate VIPs, which would not allow for load balancing. Option C implies that only one server would be active at a time, which is not efficient. Option D suggests simultaneous contact, but without proper load balancing, it may lead to uneven resource distribution.
