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 D. It allows the Executives/Management end-user group to share desktops.. Deploying the proprietary application as Hosted VDI Static allows multiple users within the Executives/Management group to access equivalent desktops from a common pool, effectively 'sharing' the underlying image and resource pool.

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 as Hosted VDI Static the best solution?

Options

  • AIt allows the installation of custom applications.
  • BIt is easy to manage.
  • CIt meets the high-performance application demands of the Executives/Management end-user group.
  • DIt allows the Executives/Management end-user group to share desktops.

Why each option

Deploying the proprietary application as Hosted VDI Static allows multiple users within the Executives/Management group to access equivalent desktops from a common pool, effectively 'sharing' the underlying image and resource pool.

AIt allows the installation of custom applications.

Hosted VDI Static (non-persistent) typically discards user changes upon logoff, making user-installed custom applications non-persistent.

BIt is easy to manage.

While image management for non-persistent VDI is simplified, the 'best solution' for the scenario focuses on the end-user group's access model rather than just management ease.

CIt meets the high-performance application demands of the Executives/Management end-user group.

Although Hosted VDI provides dedicated resources, the primary characteristic highlighted by 'sharing desktops' in this context points towards a pooled approach where multiple users draw from common desktop images.

DIt allows the Executives/Management end-user group to share desktops.Correct

In a Hosted VDI Static (non-persistent pooled VDI) setup, while each user receives a dedicated virtual machine for their session, the underlying image and pool of resources are shared among the user group. This allows multiple users to consume desktops from the same managed infrastructure, thereby enabling a form of resource sharing across the group, aligning with the single-image deployment requirement.
