Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 70

Scenario: A large retail environment includes a StoreFront server group with 2 servers, each with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM. The server group handles about
25,000 user connections per hour, with the majority of users accessing the environment using the Citrix Workspace app. Workspace Control has been disabled for the environment.
A Citrix Architect learns that the company will soon merge with another retail chain. The Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment must double its capacity, and the StoreFront server group is expected to handle about 40,000 user connections per hour.
What should the architect do to meet the expected load while maintaining high availability with optimal resource allocation for the StoreFront component?

Answer options

• A. Allocate an additional 2 vCPUs to each existing StoreFront server.
• B. Enable Workspace Control for all StoreFront stores.
• C. Allocate an additional 2 GB of RAM to each existing StoreFront server.
• D. Train users to begin accessing the environment using Citrix Workspace app for Web site.
• E. Use the least connection method for load-balancing on Citrix ADC.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because adding 2 vCPUs to each StoreFront server will provide the necessary processing power to handle the increased number of user connections, thereby maintaining performance. The other options do not directly address the capacity needs: enabling Workspace Control (B) does not increase server resources, adding RAM (C) may not be sufficient, training users (D) changes access methods but does not solve capacity issues, and the least connection method (E) focuses on load distribution rather than resource enhancement.
