The correct answer is A. It allows the end users to install custom software. C. It requires less storage space than dedicated desktops. The 'VDI: pooled with PvD' model is appropriate for the Desktop - Research application because it allows end users to install custom software and requires less storage space than dedicated desktops. This model balances personalization with resource efficiency.

Question

After careful review of the end users and applications in CGE's environment, a Citrix Architect has chosen several different FlexCast models for application and desktop delivery. What are two reasons why the architect would recommend 'VDI: pooled with PvD' as an appropriate delivery model for the Desktop - Research application? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AIt allows the end users to install custom software.
  • BIt gives the end users full rights over the system drive.
  • CIt requires less storage space than dedicated desktops.
  • DIt allows for high availability in a disaster recovery scenario.

Why each option

The 'VDI: pooled with PvD' model is appropriate for the Desktop - Research application because it allows end users to install custom software and requires less storage space than dedicated desktops. This model balances personalization with resource efficiency.

AIt allows the end users to install custom software.Correct

Personal vDisk (PvD) technology enables users in a pooled VDI environment to retain their personalized settings and locally installed custom software across sessions, providing a persistent user experience on a non-persistent base image.

BIt gives the end users full rights over the system drive.

PvD allows for personalization and persistence of user data and applications, but it typically does not grant end users full administrative rights over the base system drive itself.

CIt requires less storage space than dedicated desktops.Correct

Pooled VDI with PvD leverages a shared base image for multiple users, which significantly reduces the overall storage footprint compared to dedicated VDI, where each user requires a full, unique virtual disk.

DIt allows for high availability in a disaster recovery scenario.

While VDI environments can be configured for disaster recovery, 'VDI: pooled with PvD' as a specific model does not inherently provide high availability in a disaster recovery scenario more than other VDI models; HA/DR is an infrastructure-level design concern.
