The correct answer is C. Allocate more memory to the affected users' virtual desktops and the database desktops. Users are experiencing high latency due to resource contention, likely exacerbated by resource-intensive database virtual desktops sharing resources. Increasing memory for both the affected user desktops and the database desktops is the most effective solution.

Question

Some users are experiencing high latency when accessing their virtual desktops or retrieving saved documents. The administrator notices that two virtual desktops in the department are reserved for database processing applications that run several times a day. These machines are assigned to different hosts in the resource pool to provide a level of redundancy. Which of the following is the BEST course of action to remedy the situation?

Options

  • AEnable memory ballooning on the hypervisors supporting the database desktops
  • BEnable I/O throttling on the hypervisors supporting the database desktops
  • CAllocate more memory to the affected users' virtual desktops and the database desktops
  • DAllocate more CPU resources to the affected users' virtual desktops

Why each option

Users are experiencing high latency due to resource contention, likely exacerbated by resource-intensive database virtual desktops sharing resources. Increasing memory for both the affected user desktops and the database desktops is the most effective solution.

AEnable memory ballooning on the hypervisors supporting the database desktops

Memory ballooning is a technique for a hypervisor to reclaim unused memory from a virtual machine, typically used when the host is under memory pressure, and does not directly resolve overall resource scarcity or high latency caused by insufficient allocation.

BEnable I/O throttling on the hypervisors supporting the database desktops
CAllocate more memory to the affected users' virtual desktops and the database desktopsCorrect

High latency often indicates a bottleneck in computing resources such as memory or I/O. Allocating more memory to the database desktops will improve their performance, reducing their demand on shared resources, while also directly benefiting user desktops by providing them with more dedicated memory for their operations.

DAllocate more CPU resources to the affected users' virtual desktops
