Question

Scenario: CGE acquires a small energy company that is running MGMT, a proprietary 16-bit application. A Citrix Architect is tasked with deploying this application to the Executives/Management end-user group. The CIO mandates that a FlexCast model must be chosen that resembles this end-user group's existing delivery strategy. It is important that a single-image deployment is utilized and that management effort is kept to a minimum for the update process. The availability of a fast rollback plan must also be available after upgrades, since it can often result in system instability. Which FlexCast model should the architect recommend to deploy the MGMT application to the Executives/ Management end-user group?

Why each option

To deploy a proprietary 16-bit application with minimal management, single-image updates, and fast rollbacks for an executive group, the On-Demand Apps FlexCast model is recommended due to its application virtualization capabilities.

AHosted Shared

Hosted Shared (RDS) can present challenges for 16-bit applications on modern server OSes and might not match an executive group's existing delivery strategy or personalization expectations.

BRemote PC

Remote PC access connects users to their physical office PCs, which does not provide a single-image deployment for the application or centralize application update and rollback management effectively.

COn-Demand AppsCorrect

On-Demand Apps, typically referring to application virtualization technologies like Citrix App-V or layering solutions, can isolate legacy 16-bit applications to run on modern operating systems, allow for single-image packaging and delivery of the application itself, and provide simple updates and immediate rollbacks by managing application packages independent of the underlying OS image.

DHosted VDI

Hosted VDI provides dedicated virtual desktops, but managing updates and rollbacks for a single application typically involves re-imaging or installing on each VM, which is less efficient than dedicated application virtualization for this specific scenario.
