Question
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new, 2,000-user XenApp and XenDesktop environment. The environment will use Windows Server 2016 for all Site infrastructure components (Delivery Controllers, StoreFront servers, Citrix Director). Machine Creation Services (MCS) will be used to provision Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines. The environment will include two primary use cases:
Windows Server 2016 VDA machines providing hosted apps Windows 10 VDA machines providing random, non-persistent VDI The IT team has NOT yet purchased the hardware that will be used for the environment and will build the Hardware Layer components for the environment based on the architect’s recommendations. How should the architect design the hypervisor resource pools based on Citrix leading practice?

Explanation
Explanation/Reference: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/7-15-ltsr/citrix-vdi-best-practices/design/design- Decision: Workload Separation When implementing a XenApp and XenDesktop deployment, the workloads for the infrastructure, same physical hosts. Citrix recommends using resource clusters to separate the workloads, especially in an enterprise deployment. This allows better host sizing as each workload has unique requirements such as overcommit ratios and memory usage. In smaller environments where resource clusters are cost prohibitive, the workloads may be mixed in a manner which still allows for a highly available environment. Citrix leading practice is to separate the workloads however mixed workloads is a cost based business decision.
