Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new infrastructure that will use Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops to deploy applications in New York, Chicago and
Seattle data centers. All 3 data centers will be active simultaneously.
Which feature should the architect recommend to connect the remote users to the closest or best-performing data center?
To connect remote users to the closest or best-performing data center in a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops infrastructure, the recommended feature is Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB). GSLB is specifically designed to balance the load across multiple data centers and direct client requests to the closest or best-performing data center, ensuring optimal performance and user experience. It achieves this by intelligently routing traffic based on factors like proximity and server health.
A - GSLB directs clients to the closest or best performing data center. Pretty much its job.
A [GSLB] is correct CWS-415-2I-en-StudentManual-v01 p.681 GSLB is a Citrix Gateway feature that: • Balances load across data centers. • Directs client requests to the closest or best performing data center. • Can direct client requests to responsive data centers only in a disaster recovery scenario. Optimal Gateway Routing is more for aggregate resources from multiple sites
This is NOT Optimal Gateway Routing - OGR doesn't make any decisions about WHERE your session launches, only how you get there. The question is ensuring you end up at the closest DC, which can only be done using GSLB
Sorry again for confusion! A is correct! keywords are "closest or best-performing" and that's achieved by using GSLB...
This is networking but okay
Optimal Gateway Routing ensurs that HDX launches occur via the closest NetScaler Gateway, even if the users connect to a sub‐optimal gateway. The NetScaler Gateway Routing solution essentially de-couples or separates the initial logon Gateway from the HDX launch Gateway, based on where the app or desktop is located, not where you logon. This helps solve the GSLB misdirection problem that someusers may be experiencing, while maintaining the integrity of the system.
"A" could be right "How GLSB works: criteria: - Closest Datacenter" BUT!!!: https://www.citrix.com/content/dam/citrix/en_us/documents/white-paper/ns-optimal-gateway-routing-tech-wp.pdf (after the CLSB Link: "Our NetScaler team listened to our customers, and delivered a solution that uses NetScaler Gateway and Citrix Storefront to deliver the best user experience by ensuring that HDX launches occur via the closest NetScaler Gateway, even if the users connect to a sub-optimal gateway.") For sure it's "Optimal Gateway Routing"!

Jep, you're right!
D should be the right answer as "... remote users". Optimal Gateway Routing enables the best connection for remote users.
