Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 68

Scenario: A Citrix Architect deployed a new Citrix Virtual Desktops environment in Citrix Cloud. The environment is accessed exclusively by users in a location where Citrix Cloud does NOT have a local point of presence (POP). The Corporate Security team advises that a new industry regulation requires that all user
HDX-session communications remain within the country.
In addition, users have requested file-type-association functionality to launch published applications from within their virtual desktops.
What should the architect configure for this deployment?

Answer options

• A. On-premises Citrix Gateway with on-premises StoreFront
• B. Citrix Cloud-hosted Gateway Service with Citrix Cloud-hosted Workspace
• C. On-premises Citrix Gateway with Citrix Cloud-hosted Workspace
• D. Citrix Cloud-hosted Gateway Service with on-premises StoreFront

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as deploying an on-premises Citrix Gateway with on-premises StoreFront ensures that all HDX-session communications remain within the country, complying with the new regulation. Options B and D utilize Citrix Cloud-hosted services, which could lead to data transmission outside the country. Option C introduces a Citrix Cloud-hosted Workspace, which also does not meet the requirement for localized communications.
