Scenario: A Citrix Administrator needs to deploy 300 virtual Windows 10 desktops in an environment. The deployment should have a low impact on the existing network infrastructure. The environment also requires user-installed applications and persistency.
Which Citrix technology can the administrator use to provision the desktops?
Machine Creation Services (MCS) is suitable for deploying virtual desktops with a low impact on the existing network infrastructure because it provisions desktops using linked clones from a base disk, primarily relying on storage rather than network streaming. Additionally, MCS supports persistency, allowing for user-installed applications. This makes it the best choice given the requirements of low network impact and persistence.
key: "should have a low impact on the existing network". PVS is streaming the images through the network. MCS is more based on storage capacity.
You could use manual provisioning with Full Clones of a template Virtual Machine, but I suppose manual provisioning is not really a "citrix technology". Suppose answer Citrix wants is MCS as with Desktop OS you can create Full Clones instead of Linked Clones which are persistent.
