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 8 with Machine Creation Services the best solution?

Options

  • AIt offers a faster change process.
  • BEnd users are already comfortable working in a shared environment.
  • CIt prevents XenApp server crashes.
  • DIt enables faster rollbacks.

Why each option

The scenario requires a FlexCast model resembling the end-user group's existing delivery strategy for a 16-bit application, emphasizing minimal management and fast rollbacks. The Remote PC environment on Windows 8 with Machine Creation Services is selected because it aligns with the end-users' comfort with a shared environment concept.

AIt offers a faster change process.

'Faster change process' is a general benefit of MCS, but it is not the specific reason highlighted as per the correct answer, which focuses on user comfort and existing strategy.

BEnd users are already comfortable working in a shared environment.Correct

The CIO's mandate to select a FlexCast model resembling the end-user group's existing delivery strategy is a key requirement. If the end-users are accustomed to accessing centrally managed, enterprise resources or applications, the concept of a 'shared environment' might imply familiarity with such centralized IT-provided services, making adoption of the Remote PC solution more straightforward.

CIt prevents XenApp server crashes.

While isolation in Remote PC can prevent issues from affecting other users, the direct answer here is not about preventing crashes but about user comfort with the existing delivery model.

DIt enables faster rollbacks.

While MCS provides rollback capabilities for virtual machines, the question focuses on the 'best solution' based on the user group's existing delivery strategy, and 'comfort in a shared environment' is presented as the primary reason.
