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 with Hosted VDI leveraging SCCM allows for efficient management of a common desktop image across a pool of VDI desktops, effectively 'sharing' this standardized environment among the executive group.

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 with SCCM 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 with Hosted VDI leveraging SCCM allows for efficient management of a common desktop image across a pool of VDI desktops, effectively 'sharing' this standardized environment among the executive group.

AIt allows the installation of custom applications.

SCCM manages the VDI environment; user-installed custom applications typically depend on the VDI persistence model, not SCCM, and 'sharing desktops' is a more direct answer for the given option.

BIt is easy to manage.

While SCCM enhances manageability of VDI by centralizing patching and software deployment, the correct answer focuses on the benefit to the end-users regarding resource access rather than solely administrative ease.

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

SCCM is a management tool and does not inherently dictate the performance capabilities of the underlying VDI virtual machines, which are determined by hypervisor and resource allocation.

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

When Hosted VDI is managed with SCCM, it facilitates the distribution and management of a standardized base image across a pool of virtual desktops. This means multiple users, even with dedicated VDI sessions, are effectively 'sharing' the consistent, centrally managed desktop environment and its applications, which is crucial for uniform corporate access and the single-image deployment requirement.
