Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to design a single-Site XenApp and XenDesktop environment. Through earlier design discussions, the architect has determined the environment details listed in the Exhibit.

Which SQL server baseline specifications will provide acceptable performance and stability while avoiding unnecessary over-provisioning of resources?
Given the scenario, the SQL server baseline specifications need to ensure performance and stability while avoiding unnecessary over-provisioning of resources. The environment needs to support 10,000 users and includes multiple SQL databases for XenApp and XenDesktop as well as Provisioning Services. The resources required for these databases do not justify an overly high allocation. Based on the stated specifications, 4 CPU cores, 8 GB of RAM, and 10 GB of database storage will be sufficient to handle up to 15,000 users, which is appropriate for the given 10,000 users without over-provisioning. Therefore, option A is the most suitable choice.
The keywords are "avoiding unnecessary over-provisioning". 4/8 can handle up to 15,000 users. But the users here are only 10,000. furthermore, SQL for PVS is not as resource intensive as SQL for site/logging/monitoring. Most resource utilization in PVS are on PVS servers and vdisk storage for streaming. A is correct.
A. Check Citrix 7.15 VDI Handbook https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/7-15-ltsr/downloads/handbook-715-ltsr.pdf
I don't know if this answer is correct. Bceause handbook says: 4 Cores / 8 GB RAM for environments up to 15,000 users But provisioning services also need a database (recomended 4 Cores, 4 GB) This information with the fact that sql is co-located with other application databaes. I think the answer should be D
A. 4 CPU cores, 8 GB of RAM, 10 GB database storage
