The correct answer is D. Hosted VDI with SCCM. To deploy a 16-bit application within a Hosted VDI environment, fulfilling requirements for single-image management, minimal update effort, and fast rollback, an enterprise-grade image and application management system is essential.

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. How should the architect deploy MGMT in a Hosted VDI environment?

Why each option

To deploy a 16-bit application within a Hosted VDI environment, fulfilling requirements for single-image management, minimal update effort, and fast rollback, an enterprise-grade image and application management system is essential.

AAs Hosted VDI Static Persistent

Hosted VDI Static Persistent assigns individual, persistent virtual machines to users, which prevents a true single-image deployment model and significantly increases management effort for updates and rollbacks.

BAs Hosted VDI Static

Hosted VDI Static typically refers to non-persistent desktops but does not inherently include a solution for single-image management, minimal update effort, or fast rollbacks without an integrated provisioning system or image management tool.

CAs Hosted VDI Random

Hosted VDI Random desktops are non-persistent and require an image management solution to meet the single-image, minimal update effort, and fast rollback requirements, which is not provided by merely selecting the 'Random' VDI type.

DHosted VDI with SCCMCorrect

System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) provides comprehensive enterprise-level capabilities for image management, application deployment, and automated patching for master VDI images. SCCM facilitates centralized control over the VDI environment, enabling streamlined updates and offering mechanisms to manage and deploy previous image or application configurations for a fast rollback plan after upgrades.
