Workspace Environment Management Flashcards

Users complain that one runaway process makes a shared VDA unresponsive. Which WEM System Optimization feature addresses this directly?

Answer: CPU Spike Protection

CPU Spike Protection lowers the priority of processes that go over a set CPU usage threshold so one process cannot take over the server.

What does WEM Fast Logoff do?

Answer: Ends the HDX connection immediately while the session logoff finishes in the background

Fast Logoff disconnects the user right away so they do not wait while the logoff process finishes.

The WEM memory management option that targets idle processes works by doing what?

Answer: Releasing excess working set memory from processes that have been idle

Memory optimization trims the working set of idle processes so physical RAM is freed for active users.

Which WEM optimization lets an administrator set the priority of disk and file operations for specific processes?

Answer: I/O Management

I/O Management sets the input/output priority of specified processes.

An administrator wants to cap a specific process at a fixed share of CPU no matter how busy the system is. Which WEM feature does this?

Answer: CPU Clamping

CPU Clamping sets a hard limit on how much CPU a named process can use.

Which WEM System Optimization setting can bring a process's CPU priority back after it is lowered and stays below the limit for a while?

Answer: Idle Priority Time

Idle Priority Time sets how long a process stays at lowered priority before it is restored.

Why do WEM resource optimizations mainly improve user density on multi-session VDAs?

Answer: They stop individual users or processes from taking more than their share of CPU, memory, and I/O

By controlling how individual processes use resources, WEM lets more users share a server with steady performance.
