Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to design a new XenApp and XenDesktop environment.
The architect has identified the Resource Layer requirements shown in the Exhibit.
Click the Exhibit button to view the requirements.

Additionally, management at the organization has identified the following general Resource Layer requirements:
The profile solution should be centrally managed.

The profile solution should minimize logon and logoff times as much as possible.

User groups do NOT need to use the same profile type.

Citrix Director should be used for monitoring profiles.

Which profile type should the architect use for the Executives group?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to manage the disaster recovery (DR) process for a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The environment currently consists of an active data center typically accessed by users, and a DR data center used in the event that a disaster impacts the primary data center.
Management has made it a priority to minimize the loss of data when failing over between data centers.
The environment has failed over from the primary data center to the DR data center and the primary data center has subsequently been recovered to its normal state.
What is the appropriate sequence of steps that the architect should follow to return to normal operations after the primary data center's stability is confirmed?

Scenario: During an assessment of a Citrix Infrastructure, a Citrix Architect finds that there are four active Sites. Each Site has one NetScaler SDX pair and two StoreFront servers in a server group to allow access for internal and external users. Users have to use different URLs when they access resources from different Sites. Single-factor authentication is used for both internal and external access. NetScaler appliances are placed in the DMZ with the appropriate firewall ports configured to allow Citrix traffic. Many of the internal users connect using corporate-owned laptops and some external users also connect using personal devices.
Management is planning to create one more Site and has asked the architect to perform scalability testing and advise how many NetScaler appliances are needed for the new Site.
What is the primary determining factor that the architect can use to help identify the appropriate NetScaler platform in this scenario?

Scenario: Engineers at a new company developed their product and infrastructure in Microsoft Azure. The engineers have reached out to a Citrix Architect to help design an Azure infrastructure to support publishing applications using the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service. Costs need to be kept to a minimum.
Which Azure virtual machine (VM) series provides the lowest cost per user while also providing good performance?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new 2,000-user Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment.
The environment will use Windows Server 2016 for all Site infrastructure components (Delivery Controllers, StoreFront servers, and Citrix Director). Machine Creation Services (MCS) will be used to provision Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines. The environment will include 2 primary use cases:
- Windows Server 2016 VDA machines providing hosted applications
- Windows 10 VDA machines providing random, non-persistent VDI
The IT team has NOT yet purchased the hardware that will be used for the environment, and will build the Hardware Layer components based on the architect's recommendations.
How should the architect design the Citrix Hypervisor resource pools based on Citrix leading practices?
