Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 88

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The environment consists of 4 Citrix Hypervisor hosts, each running
10 virtual machines (VMs). To meet company security standards for the environment, the IT team will need to perform routine VM snapshots, data backups, and threat scans.
Which two matters should the architect consider when securing a backup plan for the company? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Administrative access to the storage location that maintains backups and archived data should be monitored
• B. There are various delegated administrator roles that will have permissions to perform VM snapshots
• C. RAID technology is supported for secure VM backups and snapshots when using local host storage
• D. VM snapshots and data backups are NOT required for backup purposes if an enterprise-grade, geo-replicated, high-security storage solution is deployed
• E. Running simultaneous security scans on different VMs can reduce host resource utilization

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is correct because monitoring administrative access to storage is crucial for preventing unauthorized access to backups. Option B is also correct as it highlights the need for proper permissions related to VM snapshots. Options C, D, and E are incorrect as they do not directly address the security aspects necessary for managing backups effectively.
