Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 20

Scenario: Eight hundred users from a newly acquired company based in another continent will immediately require access to several Citrix applications being added to a zone within the Citrix Virtual Apps Site. Approximately 40 Citrix servers are being deployed in that zone.
Management informs a Citrix Architect that the new company has an unused Citrix ADC MPX 24xxx series applies that should be used to address Citrix Gateway requirements. The design must support updating the Citrix ADC firmware without user interruption.
What should the architect do to ensure that the Citrix ADC MPX 24000-series appliance addresses these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Install a Premium license on the appliance and deploy 2 extended access control lists (ACLs)
• B. Deploy Citrix Gateway into 2 admin partitions.
• C. Convert to Citrix SDX, install an add-on pack license on the appliance, and deploy Citrix Gateway VPX instances in a cluster.
• D. Install a Premium license on the appliance and deploy Citrix Gateway instances in a cluster.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because converting to Citrix SDX allows for the deployment of multiple Citrix Gateway VPX instances in a cluster, enabling firmware updates without affecting users. Options A and D do not provide the necessary clustering capability for seamless updates, while option B does not leverage the full capabilities of the Citrix ADC appliance in this scenario.
