Question 2
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. During
the project kickoff meeting, the organization stated the following business priorities:
Overall, we want a robust solution that ensures users ability to access resources at any time, even if
the primary data center experiences an outage. Since employees will need to access resources from
both inside and outside the corporate network, we need to ensure that this is enabled in a secure
manner to protect sensitive data."
Which four design decisions align with the organizations stated business priorities? (Choose four.)
- A. Redundancy should be implemented for all infrastructure components
