Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. While performing a capabilities assessment of the existing infrastructure, it was discovered that there are issues with load balancing users, and that the existing load-balancing hardware is outdated.
Which capability risk will the architect need to investigate to address these issues?
The architect will need to investigate the Access infrastructure to address the issues with load balancing users. Load balancing in a Citrix environment often involves Citrix ADC, which is part of the access infrastructure. It manages the distribution of incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server becomes overwhelmed, providing high availability and reliability.
I think answer D is correct. Loadbalancing is on a NetScaler which is a Access infra.
Agreed. The ADC is in the access layer and balances the user load. Sort of a weird question when compared to the rest we've seen in this list.
D. Access infrastructure

The load-balancing hardware is outdated but the network archetecture/design might be sound. It's the Access infrastructure which needs attention.
