Question 25

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new XenApp and XenDesktop environment and needs to determine which endpoints to include. Based on discussions with various departments, the user requirements listed in the Exhibit were collected.

Click the Exhibit button to view the requirements.

In addition to the user requirements, the architect has identified the following organizational requirements:

✑ Minimize total cost of ownership (TCO)

✑ Minimize maintenance costs

Which endpoint type should the architect use for the Product Development group, based on the requirements?

    Correct Answer: E

    The Product Development group requires a static, persistent hosted desktop with USB Printers but does not have any specific mobility requirements. As they are a high-security user group, using BYOD devices would not be ideal for security reasons. High-performance workstations or standard desktops, while meeting performance requirements, would likely increase the total cost of ownership (TCO) and maintenance costs. Corporate-owned laptops or notebooks aren't necessary due to the lack of mobility requirements. Therefore, a corporate-owned thin client is the best option as it meets the security needs and helps minimize TCO and maintenance costs.

Discussion
thedelphOption: E

I would say E It's a high security group so ideally you wouldn't want a BYOD device. There's no mobility requirement so it doesn't need to be a laptop In terms of minimising TCO and maintenance costs, a thin-client would work out cheaper than a standard/high performance workstation.
