Implementation Planning Flashcards

During the assessment phase of a Citrix project, what is the main purpose of user segmentation?

Answer: Grouping users by shared requirements to pick the right delivery model

User segmentation groups users with similar needs so each group can be matched to the right VDA type and resources.

What must exist before Machine Creation Services (MCS) can create a machine catalog?

Answer: A host connection to a supported hypervisor or cloud with storage defined

MCS uses the hypervisor or cloud API through a host connection to clone machines from a master image.

In a non-persistent MCS catalog, which disks does each VM typically get in addition to the shared master image?

Answer: An identity disk and a difference disk

Each MCS VM gets a small identity disk for its unique identity and a difference disk that stores writes.

Which PVS write cache option does Citrix generally recommend for the best performance?

Answer: Cache in device RAM with overflow on hard disk

RAM cache with overflow on hard disk cuts storage IOPS while avoiding crashes when the RAM cache fills up.

In Citrix Cloud, how many Cloud Connectors should be deployed per resource location for high availability?

Answer: At least two

Citrix recommends at least two Cloud Connectors per resource location so connectivity survives the loss of one.

Which delivery option lets users remotely access their existing physical office PCs through Citrix?

Answer: Remote PC Access

Remote PC Access installs a VDA on physical office PCs so users can reach them remotely through Citrix.

HDX Adaptive Transport uses which transport to improve performance on high-latency networks?

Answer: Enlightened Data Transport (EDT) over UDP

Adaptive Transport uses EDT, a UDP-based protocol, and falls back to TCP if UDP isn't available.
