Question 15

Scenario: A large retail environment includes a StoreFront server group with 2 servers, each with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM. The server group handles about

25,000 user connections per hour, with the majority of users accessing the environment using the Citrix Workspace app. Workspace Control has been disabled for the environment.

A Citrix Architect learns that the company will soon merge with another retail chain. The Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment must double its capacity, and the StoreFront server group is expected to handle about 40,000 user connections per hour.

What should the architect do to meet the expected load while maintaining high availability with optimal resource allocation for the StoreFront component?

    Correct Answer: A

    To meet the expected load of handling 40,000 user connections per hour while maintaining high availability and optimal resource allocation for the StoreFront component, the architect should allocate an additional 2 vCPUs to each existing StoreFront server. By increasing the CPU resources, each server will be able to handle a higher throughput, which in turn increases the overall capacity of the server group. Given that the current configuration supports 25,000 connections per hour per server with 2 vCPUs, doubling the number of vCPUs should enable each server to handle beyond the required capacity, achieving a resilient and scalable configuration. This approach also aligns with best practices for scaling StoreFront servers by enhancing CPU resources rather than adding new servers, ensuring efficient resource utilization and high availability.

Discussion
d0bermannnOption: A

A. Allocate an additional 2 vCPUs to each existing StoreFront server is correct as for SF scale most sence CPU scaling has to be applied [if we scale for a load, not HA or internal enterprize needs]

MekaliOption: A

A is correct: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/storefront/1912-ltsr/plan.html#scalability

SFs scaling is all about adding CPUs, Not servers, not RAM.

SuperTedOption: A

The throughput of a single StoreFront server can also be increased by assigning more virtual CPUs to the system, with four virtual CPUs enabling up to 55,000 user connections per hour and eight virtual CPUs enabling 80,000 connections per hour. Adding 2 additional vCPU will increase each storefront server to 55,000 user connections. If one server fails, still the required 40.000 user connections can be served. Answer A is correct.

maurizio_n91Option: A

A is right, first scale CPU on scale up

ayushwithuOption: B

Storefront: 2 cpu/4gb can support up to 30.000 connections per hout 4 cpu/4gb can support up to 55.000 connections per hour. Add 2 CPU: 2x 4 cpu/4gb Total of 110.000 connections per hour. HA, when 1 node fail: 55.000 connections per hour Add server: 3x 2 cpu/4gb Total of 90.000 connections per hour. HA, when 1 node fail: 60.000 connections per hour Citrix advise to Scale up and not to scale out for Storefront deployments, so answer B will be correct.
