Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 4

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is developing a Citrix Provisioning (PVS) design for a healthcare organization. The initial design places all PVS farm components in the primary data center of the organization. The customer asks if the vDisk can be streamed from PVS servers in the primary data center to target devices located in a secondary data center in another region, while still maintaining good performance. The data centers 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 this recommendation?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the 20 ms latency could cause excessive delays in streaming the vDisk, negatively impacting performance. Options B and D are incorrect as the configuration does provide sufficient connectivity and bandwidth, respectively. Option C is also wrong since Subnet Affinity can still be implemented in this setup.
