The correct answer is D. It provides the lowest cost and the greatest application compatibility. Hosted VDI with Provisioning Services (PVS) significantly reduces storage costs by streaming OS images over the network, while providing excellent application compatibility typical of dedicated VDI.

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 Provisioning Services?

Options

  • AIt provides the highest end-user density at the lowest cost.
  • BIt provides the greatest level of end-user personalization and control.
  • CIt facilitates rapid provisioning and provides the highest end-user density.
  • DIt provides the lowest cost and the greatest application compatibility.

Why each option

Hosted VDI with Provisioning Services (PVS) significantly reduces storage costs by streaming OS images over the network, while providing excellent application compatibility typical of dedicated VDI.

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

Highest end-user density at the lowest cost is a characteristic of Hosted Shared (multi-user) environments, not VDI, which generally has higher resource consumption per user.

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

While VDI enables personalization, PVS, particularly with non-persistent desktops, does not inherently provide the 'greatest level of end-user personalization and control' as its primary benefit; profile management solutions are needed for persistence.

CIt facilitates rapid provisioning and provides the highest end-user density.

Although PVS facilitates rapid provisioning due to image streaming, 'highest end-user density' is generally not a benefit of VDI when compared to multi-user shared desktop environments, as VDI allocates one VM per user.

DIt provides the lowest cost and the greatest application compatibility.Correct

Provisioning Services (PVS) can lead to the 'lowest cost' within VDI by eliminating local storage for virtual desktops, as VMs stream their OS images over the network, drastically cutting expensive storage hardware and simplifying image management. Additionally, as a VDI solution, it provides 'greatest application compatibility' because each user receives a dedicated virtual machine running a full desktop operating system, similar to a physical desktop.
