Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 23
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. Citrix Provisioning (PVS) has been selected for image management.
The PVS vDisk store requires high fault tolerance and the ability to support dual drive failure.
Which RAID level could the architect use for the PVS vDisk store?
Answer options
- A. RAID 5
- B. RAID 6
- C. RAID 0
- D. RAID 1
Correct answer: B
Explanation
RAID 6 is the correct choice because it allows for two drive failures, ensuring high fault tolerance, which is essential for the PVS vDisk store. RAID 5 can only support a single drive failure, while RAID 0 offers no redundancy, and RAID 1, while fault-tolerant, only supports one drive failure.
