Scenario: A large retail environment includes a StoreFront server group with two servers, each with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM. The server group handles about 25,000 user connections per hour, with a majority of the users accessing the environment using native Receiver. Workspace Control has been disabled for the environment.
A Citrix Architect learns that the company will soon merge with another retail chain. The XenApp and XenDesktop environment must double its capacity, and the StoreFront server group is expected to handle about 40,000 user connections per hour.
What should the architect do to meet the expected load while maintaining high availability with optimal resource allocation for the StoreFront component?
A. Add a third StoreFront server with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM.
B. Allocate an additional 2 vCPUs to each existing StoreFront server.
C. Train users to begin accessing the environment using Receiver for Web.
D. Allocate an additional 2 GB of RAM to each existing StoreFront server.
E. Enable Workspace Control for all StoreFront stores.

Scalability
The number of Citrix Workspace app users supported by a StoreFront server group depends on the hardware you use and on the level of user activity. Based on simulated activity where users log on, enumerate 100 published applications, and start one resource, expect a single StoreFront server with the minimum recommended specification of two virtual CPUs running on an underlying dual Intel Xeon L5520 2.27 Ghz processor server to enable up to 30,000 user connections per hour.
Expect a server group with two similarly configured servers in the group to enable up to 60,000 user connections per hour; three nodes up to 90,000 connections per hour; four nodes up to 120,000 connections per hour; five nodes up to 150,000 connections per hour; six nodes up to 175,000 connections per hour.
The throughput of a single StoreFront server can also be increased by assigning more virtual CPUs to the system, with four virtual CPUs enabling up to 55,000 user connections per hour and eight virtual CPUs enabling 80,000 connections per hour.
The minimum recommended memory allocation for each server is 4GB. When using Citrix Receiver for Web, assign an additional 700 bytes per resource, per user in addition to the base memory allocation. As with using Citrix Receiver for Web, when using Citrix Workspace app, design environments to allow an extra 700 bytes per resource, per user on top of the base 4 GB memory requirements for this version of StoreFront.
As your usage patterns might be different than those simulated above, your servers might support more or fewer numbers of users connections per hour.
I think answer B would be correct. I can’t find any information related to more performance regarding Workspace Control. Not shure…
