Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment.
The table in the exhibit lists details about the requirements of the current user groups and their Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machine workloads.
Click the Exhibit button to view the table.
At a minimum, the architect should scale the hardware used to host the virtual machine (VMs) for User Group 1 to ________ GB of RAM. (Choose the correct option to complete the sentence.)
To determine the minimum RAM required for User Group 1, we focus on the heavy workload with a scaling priority for scalability. The table indicates a heavy workload with CPU overcommit ratio of 6:1 and 4 virtual CPUs per VM, accommodating 30 VMs per host with 1 user per VM. For a heavy workload, each VM should typically be allocated 6-8 GB of RAM. Given 30 VMs, if each VM requires 6-8 GB of RAM, the total RAM needed would be 180-240 GB. Therefore, to meet this requirement and choosing the closest higher standard specification, 256 GB would be the minimum requirement. So, the answer is 256 GB.
Heavy workload is 6-8GB... 6x30=180 or 8x30=240 => A is correct!
I agree its A. I have looked at the LTSR for 7.X
A should be correct here. According to 7.15 LTSR handbook VMs for heavy workloads must have 6Gb. 6Gb*30users = 180GB
Correct; 6 is for Scale, 8 is for Experience but even with 8 it is answer A (256GB)
2-3Gb is light workload, 3-4 Medium, 6-8 heavy
A is right 8gb*30vm=240gb (6-8GB for heavy forkload)
Guys you need to understand that you don't need to apply magic number when Overcommit ratio is given. the overcommit ratio is the magic number in that case. hope this will help.
overcommit CPU ratio applies to RAM calc?
Why is A?
I think, heavy machines need 8 GB RAM per VM. So 8*30=240 GB RAM.
