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 by using cloned VM templates?

Options

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

Why each option

Using Hosted VDI with cloned VM templates primarily benefits organizations by enabling rapid and efficient provisioning of numerous virtual desktops from a single master image.

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

Hosted VDI generally offers lower end-user density compared to Hosted Shared (RDS) and is not always the lowest cost, especially when dedicated virtual machines are provided per user.

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

While Hosted VDI provides more personalization than Hosted Shared, using cloned VM templates often implies non-persistent VDI, which limits personalization unless advanced profile management is integrated.

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

Hosted VDI typically requires high storage IOPS, leading to higher, not lower, storage performance requirements, and its end-user density is not the highest compared to Hosted Shared.

DIt facilitates rapid provisioning.Correct

Cloned VM templates, often leveraged by technologies like Citrix Machine Creation Services (MCS) or Provisioning Services (PVS), allow administrators to quickly create and deploy many virtual desktops based on a standardized master image, significantly facilitating rapid provisioning for new users or expanded needs.
