Assess Existing Environment and Design Strategy

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 Remote PC environment on Windows 7 with Machine Creation Services the best solution?

Why each option

The scenario involves deploying a proprietary 16-bit application, requiring a FlexCast model resembling the existing delivery strategy, minimal management, and a fast rollback plan. The Remote PC environment on Windows 7 with Machine Creation Services is chosen because it prevents XenApp server crashes by isolating the application.

AIt offers a faster change process.

While MCS can streamline image updates, 'a faster change process' is a general benefit and not the specific reason given that Remote PC prevents XenApp crashes.

BEnd users are already comfortable working in a shared environment.

Remote PC environments provide dedicated access rather than a shared environment, so this choice contradicts the nature of the solution.

CIt prevents XenApp server crashes.Correct

Deploying a potentially unstable 16-bit application in a Remote PC environment on Windows 7 provides dedicated physical machine resources for each user. This isolation prevents the application from causing widespread outages or 'XenApp server crashes' that could occur if it were hosted in a shared server environment, thereby containing any instability to individual user sessions.
