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 Provisioning 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

Deploying MGMT in a Remote PC environment with Provisioning Services offers a faster change process because PVS centralizes image management, streamlining updates and simplifying software deployment across multiple machines.

AIt offers a faster change process.Correct

Provisioning Services utilizes a single golden image (vDisk) that is streamed to multiple target devices, allowing for rapid deployment of updates, application changes, and the ability to revert to previous image versions with minimal effort, thus making the overall change process very efficient.

BEnd users are already comfortable working in a shared environment.

The scenario does not state that end users are comfortable in a shared environment; in fact, Remote PC implies dedicated machines, which contradicts comfort with shared environments.

CIt prevents XenApp server crashes.

Remote PC Access uses physical or dedicated virtual machines, and its primary purpose is not to prevent XenApp server crashes, which are relevant to shared server VDA deployments.

DIt enables faster rollbacks.

While PVS does enable faster rollbacks, the "faster change process" (A) is a broader and more comprehensive benefit that encompasses the efficiency of applying updates and modifications, of which rollbacks are a part, and better reflects the overall streamlined image management.
