However, they still expect the design to account for future growth without the need to redesign or repurchase central hardware components. Additionally, the current 1 Gb network infrastructure CANNOT be replaced within the scope of this project. The architect has determined that the company can support both current and future load with 2 to 3 separate Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machine images. Which two features should the architect consider while designing the Citrix Hypervisors for the proposed Citrix environment? (Choose two.)

Scenario: A Citrix Consultant is designing a new Citrix Virtual Desktops environment. During the user segmentation process, a Citrix Architect collected a small amount of data about user requirements, but was NOT able to create well-defined user groups. Which user-segmentation actions should the consultant pursue?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The architect has identified the requirements, based on the assessment and early stages of the design. Click the Exhibit button to view the requirements. Additionally, the IT team identified 2 provisioning strategy requirements: Should be compatible with planned design decisions Should minimize required time to perform image and application updates Which provisioning method should the architect use for the environment, based on the design decisions and requirements shown in the exhibit?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to implement Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. Based on the assessment and early stages of the design, the requirements in the exhibit have been identified. Click the Exhibit button to view the requirements. Which tier of storage should the architect consider implementing, based on the requirement?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect designed an active-passive Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment, where the passive data center serves as the disaster recovery (DR) data center for all users. Twelve items have been configured: Citrix ADC Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) to provide single URL direction to the active data center. GSLB has health monitors configured for the load balanced servers. Citrix Gateways are on both data centers. Citrix ADC load balancing occurs for StoreFront and Delivery Controller XML services. A single Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Site exists. Four Delivery Controllers are members of the Site. Two Delivery Controllers are members of the Primary Zone in the active data center. Two Delivery Controllers are members of the Satellite Zone in the passive data center. SQL is deployed in the active data center. Local Host Cache is enabled. Two StoreFront servers are deployed in each data center aggregating resources from the Delivery Controllers in the respective data center. Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines are deployed in both data centers and configured to register with Delivery Controllers in their zone. What would happen if the Delivery Controllers in the primary data center were turned off?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The architect has identified the Resource Layer requirements shown in the exhibit. Click the Exhibit button to view the requirements. Which feature of Citrix Profile Management could help the architect address the Graphic Designers Group requirements while minimizing login time?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment for a company with 2 branch offices connected over a WAN link. Each location will maintain its own Citrix Site and be configured for disaster recovery (DR) to allow users to failover if 1 Site has an outage. Management wants to implement a strong profile solution to manage user profiles. Each user maintains a profile that consists of user documents, application settings, and other personalization settings that must be available to them at all times. Which step should the architect perform to ensure that profile requirements are met?

Scenario: Currently, the user interface for a Citrix Apps and Desktops environment is presented in English, but a planned on-premises expansion in Poland will support 100 new users with a requirement to use all Polish interfaces. Two constraints were identified by a Citrix Architect: Network bandwidth is low and unstable. Network latency is higher than 300 ms to the existing Site. How should the architect deploy Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops for these users?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The design has a Primary Zone and 3 Satellite Zones. Each Satellite Zone has a number of Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines that belong to a single Delivery Group spanning all 3 Satellite Zones. Click the Exhibit button to view more details about the configuration. How should the architect ensure that the SharePoint application has optimal performance for all user groups?

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?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. Two Control Layer security requirements have been identified: Secure XML traffic between StoreFront and the Delivery Controller using SSL. Secure Ticket Authority (STA) traffic must be protected with SSL. Which three tools can the architect use to ensure that all security requirements are met? (Choose three.)

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment.

Which capability risk will the architect need to investigate to address these issues?

Scenario: Eight hundred users from a newly acquired company based in another continent will immediately require access to several Citrix applications being added to a zone within the Citrix Virtual Apps Site.
