Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 59

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is assessing an existing infrastructure for a company that has storage challenges as a result of hyper-growth. They currently have a large IT infrastructure that consists of 15 hypervisor hosts and more than 200 virtual machines (VMs) worldwide. Management has advised the architect that they need to improve their storage infrastructure to include high performance and scalability.
Which storage solution should the architect implement within this infrastructure?

Answer options

• A. DAS
• B. SAN
• C. NAS
• D. Local

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, SAN, as it provides high performance and scalability, making it ideal for a large and growing virtual environment. DAS and Local storage solutions do not support the level of scalability required, while NAS, although scalable, typically does not match the performance of SAN in high-demand situations.
