Question 62

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new, 2,000-user XenApp and XenDesktop environment. The environment will use Windows Server 2016 for all Site infrastructure components (Delivery Controllers, StoreFront servers, Provisioning Services servers, Citrix Director). Provisioning Services (PVS) will be used to provision Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines. The environment will include two primary use cases:

✑ Windows Server 2016 VDA machines providing hosted apps

✑ Windows 10 VDA machines providing random, non-persistent VDI

Within the company there is existing hardware which is hosting non-Citrix workloads. The hardware, which is using a third party hypervisor, has some spare capacity, but NOT enough to support the entire XenApp and XenDesktop environment. As a result, the IT team is planning to purchase additional hardware to support the expected capacity but has NOT determined which hypervisor will be used for that hardware. The IT team would like to utilize the existing hardware and wants to minimize the long-term costs of the solution while still providing a good user experience.

How should the architect design the hypervisor resource pools based on Citrix leading practice?

    Correct Answer: C, D

    To design the hypervisor resource pools efficiently based on Citrix leading practices, the architect should aim to separate different environments for better resource management and performance. Building new XenServer resource pools for all VDA machines and PVS servers ensures consistency and optimized performance specific to Citrix workloads. Additionally, placing the other Citrix infrastructure components such as Delivery Controllers and StoreFront servers in existing third-party clusters leverages existing resources, minimizing long-term costs. By also building new XenServer resource pools for all Windows 10 VDA machines while using the existing third-party clusters for Windows Server 2016 components, the design ensures a balance between leveraging existing infrastructure and optimizing performance for Citrix workloads. This approach provides a good user experience and minimizes costs. These points lead to selecting options C and D.

Discussion
ijhoojhisdojihoijOption: C

I would go for C

kepler

C is sensible.

d0bermannnOption: C

C is correct, place pvs & its target devices on xenserver, apart from other hypervisors, & use pvs acceleretor

thedelphOption: E

I would say E. I would want to separate Infrastructure servers with VDA's, and PVS will need to be located where it has a constant and reliable connection to the SQL database, with the smallest latency possible.

thedelph

Sorry D!

XenServer could also make use of features such as PVS Accelerator.

wrong, third party hypervisor.. C is right
