The correct answer is C. It meets the high-performance application demands of the Executives/Management end-user group. Deploying the proprietary application as Hosted VDI Random is the best solution because it provides dedicated, albeit non-persistent, virtual machines for each executive, ensuring isolated resources and a consistent high-performance environment.

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 Random the best solution?

Why each option

Deploying the proprietary application as Hosted VDI Random is the best solution because it provides dedicated, albeit non-persistent, virtual machines for each executive, ensuring isolated resources and a consistent high-performance environment.

AIt allows the installation of custom applications.

Hosted VDI Random is non-persistent, meaning any custom applications installed by the user would be lost upon logoff or reboot of the virtual machine.

BIt is easy to manage.

While Hosted VDI Random is easier to manage due to its non-persistent nature and single-image deployment, the question specifically asks why it is the 'best' solution, with performance often being a key driver for executive users.

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

Hosted VDI Random provides each user with a dedicated virtual machine from a pool, ensuring isolated resources (CPU, RAM) for each session, which contributes to a consistent and potentially high-performance user experience. This dedicated resource model can meet the expectations of an Executive/Management group for a responsive and performant computing environment.

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

Hosted VDI, including the Random model, assigns a dedicated virtual machine to each user and does not allow multiple users to concurrently share a single desktop instance.
