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. Why is deploying MGMT in a Hosted Shared environment on Windows Server 2012 R2 with Provisioning Services the best solution?

Why each option

The scenario requires deploying a 16-bit application with a single-image FlexCast model, minimal management, and a fast rollback plan. The Hosted Shared environment using Provisioning Services is chosen for its efficient rollback capabilities.

AIt offers a faster change process.

Although PVS simplifies image management and can speed up some aspects of change, its specific strength in this scenario, as required, is its fast rollback feature.

BEnd users are already comfortable working in a shared environment.

The comfort level of end-users with a shared environment, while relevant to the overall strategy, is not the specific technical benefit of Provisioning Services that addresses the fast rollback requirement.

CIt prevents XenApp server crashes.

Provisioning Services aids in rapid recovery from issues but is not a mechanism for preventing XenApp server crashes themselves.

DIt enables faster rollbacks.Correct

Citrix Provisioning Services (PVS) provides vDisk versioning, enabling administrators to quickly revert to prior, stable versions of a virtual disk image after problematic upgrades. This capability is essential for fulfilling the requirement of having a fast rollback plan available to mitigate system instability.
