Question
Scenario: A Citrix Administrator manages an environment with multiple websites running through a Citrix ADC MPX 5905. The Citrix ADC meets the environment’s needs during every month except December, when web traffic doubles. The administrator needs to handle this increased web traffic with a temporary, cost-effective solution. What should the administrator recommend purchasing to handle this increased traffic?
Options
- ALicense upgrade from the MPX 5905 to an MPX 5910
- BUniversal license
- CBurst pack license
- DCitrix Gateway platform license

Explanation
Burst pack licenses are purpose-built for exactly this scenario: temporary, predictable capacity spikes. They add throughput capacity for a defined period without requiring a permanent infrastructure change, making them the most cost-effective choice when the need is seasonal rather than ongoing.
Option A is wrong because upgrading to an MPX 5910 is a permanent hardware/platform upgrade - overkill and expensive for a one-month annual spike. Option B is wrong because a Universal license unlocks advanced features (e.g., App Firewall, content switching policies) but does not increase throughput capacity to handle higher traffic volume. Option D is wrong because the Citrix Gateway platform license enables SSL VPN and remote-access functionality, which has nothing to do with scaling web traffic capacity.
Memory tip: Match the word to the need - "burst" traffic calls for a "burst pack." If it's temporary and traffic-related, burst pack is your answer; if it's permanent, think hardware upgrade.
