Section 1: Architecture Overview

A large company has recently acquired a smaller company. A Citrix Engineer must add more resources to the environment so that every user can access the published resources.

The engineer plans to add six more StoreFront servers to the existing StoreFront server group, which has four StoreFront servers. The engineer finds that scalability declines after the seventh StoreFront server is reached.

What should the engineer increase in the StoreFront server group to avoid scalability issues?

  • A The RAM for the initial StoreFront servers before adding more servers.
  • B The CPUs allocated to the initial StoreFront servers, before adding more servers.
  • C The RAM for the six new StoreFront servers.
  • D The CPUs allocated for the six new StoreFront servers.
Explanation

StoreFront server groups have diminishing scalability returns once they grow beyond about five to six servers. Per-server throughput is increased by assigning additional virtual CPUs, so increasing the CPU allocation of the original StoreFront servers before adding further nodes increases capacity without relying on an oversized server group. Citrix documents a recommended allocation of four virtual CPUs per StoreFront server and notes that greater virtual CPU allocation increases StoreFront throughput.
