Scenario: A company has locations in three cities: New York, San Francisco and Miami. Each location maintains a large number of users who will need to access applications and desktop resources.
The company owns sufficient hardware resources to include an operational SQL server in the main New York location. The new XenDesktop infrastructure build needs to operate with the least administrative overhead.
Which deployment option should a Citrix Engineer implement to meet this requirement?
A. A multi-Site infrastructure with each city maintaining its own fully functional Site and including at least one delivery Controller and SQL database in each Site location.
B. A single XenDesktop Site with three zones (Primary Zone in New York and two Satellite Zones in Miami and San Francisco) and one SQL database maintained in each zone.
C. A single XenDesktop Site with three zones (Primary Zone in New York and two Satellite Zones in Miami and San Francisco) and a single SQL database maintained in New York.
D. A single XenDesktop Site with three zones (Primary Zone in New York and two Satellite Zones in Miami and San Francisco) and SQL database with AlwaysOn configured.
C – Least Overhead is one SQL Server in NY, the Satellite sites will use Local Host Cache in the event the SQL server is unavailable at the Primary Site
C for sure.
There is no hardware for sql always on and the administratives effort is bigger.
Not a very clear question, it could be either D or C New York is where the SQL db is so C is correct however D is a better choice “sufficient hardware hints to two servers AlwaysOn” but its not clear SQL AlwayOn is configured in New York.
I believe it is C. SQL having “AlwaysOn” configured means there would have to be a cluster I think, and in this case they only want/need 1 SQL server in NY
It also says – “needs to operate with the least administrative overhead”. So, I think the answer should be D.
