Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a single-Site Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops production environment. Through earlier design discussions, the architect has determined the environment details listed in the exhibit

What should the architect change in the current environment to align with Citrix leading practices?
The Citrix leading practice for a production environment dictates that the Delivery Controller and StoreFront roles should not be co-located on the same server. This separation ensures better performance, scalability, and reliability, preventing any single point of failure that could affect both critical components. Keeping these roles on separate servers aligns with best practices and provides a more robust and efficient environment.
I think answer D is correct.
A would have been the answer if it provided enough RAM, but 7GB isn't enough to meet documentation requirements. "All core components on one server, for a test deployment or a small production environment 12 GB RAM" https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/7-15-ltsr/system-requirements.html B and C are not likely. E - The CPU allocation is fine. That leaves me with D - It "should not". They CAN be combined with 12GB RAM, but they SHOULD NOT.
agreed, no way to place in prod.env DDC & SF roles on the same server
Correct answer is D. Remember the key information is "production environment" Also key word as Kelper says "Leading practice".
SFs and DDCs should never share a same server. not in production. It s ok in the lab or test. "Leading practice" is the keyword. answer is D
Answer A = Add 2 GB RAM on each is allowed within the Citrix Documentation for small environments. "The Delivery Controller can be collocated with the StoreFront and Director roles in small or non-production environments" "where user and session numbers are well below the expected single-server scalability of each of the roles" "and the increased failure domain is tolerable"
SF and DDCs NOT on one server! That's Citrix leading practice!
I think A is correct: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/7-15-ltsr/system-requirements.html
