Question

Scenario: CGE decided to virtualize its infrastructure workloads and provide a virtual solution to all end users. The infrastructure workloads include Delivery Controllers, StoreFront servers, License Servers, and Microsoft SQL Servers for databases. What are the benefits of using Hosted VDI with Machine Creation Services?

Why each option

Hosted VDI with Machine Creation Services (MCS) optimizes storage efficiency by using shared base images and differencing disks, which can indirectly contribute to better resource utilization.

AIt provides the highest end-user density at the lowest cost.

Highest end-user density at the lowest cost is a characteristic typically associated with Hosted Shared (multi-user) environments, not VDI, which generally involves higher costs per user.

BIt provides the greatest level of end-user personalization and control.

While VDI generally supports personalization, MCS's primary benefit is efficient image management and storage optimization rather than being the 'greatest level of end-user personalization and control,' especially with non-persistent desktops.

CIt offers the lowest storage performance requirement and the highest end-user density.Correct

Machine Creation Services (MCS) optimizes storage by leveraging shared base images and differencing disks, which significantly reduces the storage footprint and can lower the aggregate read I/O requirements compared to traditional full-clone VDI deployments. This storage efficiency contributes to a more scalable VDI infrastructure by optimizing resource utilization, potentially allowing for a higher density of virtual machines per host due to reduced individual VM storage impact.

DIt offers the greatest application compatibility.

While VDI offers excellent application compatibility, C focuses on the specific infrastructure-related benefits of MCS, particularly regarding storage efficiency and resource utilization for VDI deployments.
