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

The correct answer is A. It offers a faster change process.. Deploying MGMT as a published application on Windows Server 2012 R2 with Provisioning Services offers a faster change process due to PVS's centralized image management, which streamlines updates and application deployments across the server farm.

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 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 as a published application on Windows Server 2012 R2 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 as a published application on Windows Server 2012 R2 with Provisioning Services offers a faster change process due to PVS's centralized image management, which streamlines updates and application deployments across the server farm.

AIt offers a faster change process.Correct

Provisioning Services (PVS) facilitates a faster change process by streaming a single master image (vDisk) to all published application servers, enabling rapid deployment of updates and changes, significantly reducing management effort, and efficiently applying modifications across the entire environment.

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, "Executives/Management" might prefer dedicated resources, making this an unsupported assumption.

CIt prevents XenApp server crashes.

While the application might be unstable, Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit) does not natively support 16-bit applications, and simply deploying it as a published app does not inherently prevent XenApp server crashes without additional isolation or compatibility layers.

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 crucial part, better representing the overall streamlined image management.
