The company is implementing XenDesktop globally for desktop virtualization. How should the architect recommend installment of controllers for high availability?

The correct answer is A. Install three controllers in each datacenter. For global high availability in a XenDesktop environment, the architect should recommend installing three Delivery Controllers in each datacenter. This strategy ensures local redundancy and continuous operation across all geographical locations.

Why each option

For global high availability in a XenDesktop environment, the architect should recommend installing three Delivery Controllers in each datacenter. This strategy ensures local redundancy and continuous operation across all geographical locations.

AInstall three controllers in each datacenter.Correct

Installing three Delivery Controllers in each datacenter provides robust local high availability and redundancy, ensuring that if one or even two controllers fail in a datacenter, the remaining controller(s) can continue to manage user sessions and broker connections, fulfilling the global high availability requirement. This setup prevents single points of failure within each site and supports the distributed nature of a global deployment.

BInstall three controllers in New York, three in London, and three in Singapore.

This option specifies three controllers in specific locations but does not explicitly state "in each datacenter" nor imply global coverage if there are more datacenters.

CInstall three controllers in Hong Kong, three in New York, and three in Berlin.

This option, similar to B, specifies three controllers in specific locations without ensuring coverage for *each* datacenter globally.

DInstall four controllers in New York, four in Sydney, and one in London.

This option provides an uneven distribution of controllers, with only one controller in London, which introduces a single point of failure in that specific datacenter, undermining high availability.
