-- Exhibit -
Scenario: Healthy Helping Hands has created a new pilot XenApp 5 Platinum Edition farm with applications delivered to 25 pilot users. The pilot farm includes all the applications that were previously published to the HR users and some additional applications to support Manufacturing. During the pilot week of September 14th, the users of the PositivelyPeople application reported that the application was responding slowly.
Fortunately, EdgeSight had been installed and configured in the pilot farm and was recording data during the pilot. Attached in the exhibit is the information gathered from the Transaction Network Delay report from EdgeSight.
Which theory effectively explains the data that is presented in the report?

A) The Network Delay on 9/19/2009 is probably the source of complaints from the HR Users. An average network latency of almost 9ms is unacceptable.
B) The XenApp server is waiting on another host to respond, most likely the serverhosting the PositivelyPeople database.
C) The XenApp server is waiting on the network packet queue to clear as evidenced by the 9ms network latency being reported.
D) The XenApp server is reaching maximum capacity, and the lack of physical resources on the XenApp server is causing the response delay.

2. Why is this the best design for the XenServer resource pools?

A) This design separates server workloads from virtual desktops according to different resource usage characteristics and avoids conflicting situations. Also, critical database serviceshave sufficient resources within their workload-specific resource pool and failover capabilities.
B) This design ensures that server workloads and virtual desktops are logically separated and do not interfere with each other. Furthermore, it ensures easiermanagement and expansion capabilities.
C) This design provides flexibility for all workloads to leverage available resources within a resource pool more efficiently and ensures expansion options if the environment should grow. Furthermore, performing a backup on a daily basis provides critical workloads with some downtime.
D) This design ensures logical separation of server workloads and virtual desktops. Also, providing a backup solution reduces the risk of data loss and minimizes downtime.

3. Why should the architect use a monitoring script to connect to the Desktop Delivery Controller?

A) The architect will be able to gather memory performance metrics, which can indicate slow startups on the virtual desktops.
B) The architect will be able to gather IO disk performance metrics, which can indicate slow startups on the virtual desktops.
C) The architect will be able to gather CPU performance metrics, which can indicate slowstartups on the virtual desktops.
D) The architect will be able to gather network performance metrics, which can indicate slow startups on the virtual desktops.

4. Based on the deployment, which includes eight Merchandising Servers, how should the architect deploy the Citrix Receiver plug-in to all users included in the initial rollout?

A) Create internal and external Citrix Receiver download web pages for all users and manually install the Citrix Receiver as the locally logged on user.
B) Manually install the Citrix Receiver as a user with administrative rights to the local workstation and create an external Citrix Receiver download webpage for external users.
C) Create a Microsoft Group Policy Object to deploy the software to internal users via a user logon script, and create an external Citrix Receiver download webpage for external users.
D) Create a Microsoft Group Policy Object to deploy the software to internal users via a computer startup script, and create an external Citrix Receiver download webpage for external users.

5. Why should the architect recommend streaming from several datacenters?

A) Increased disaster recovery
B) Better utilization of the network
C) Increased performance
D) Consistent user experience
