Question #13

Which two scenarios are appropriate for a cloud implementation of a VDI solution over an on-premises solution? (Choose two.)

A . The organization already has infrastructure to support a VDI.
B . The organization needs to setup high availability and disaster recovery.
C . The organization needs to quickly scale-up in disparate geographical locations.
D . The organization has limited CapEx budget.
E . The organization controls highly confidential data.

Correct Answer: CD
CD

Explanation:

A cloud implementation of a VDI solution over an on-premises solution is appropriate for the following scenarios:

– The organization needs to quickly scale-up in disparate geographical locations. A cloud VDI solution can provide faster provisioning, deployment, and management of virtual desktops and applications across multiple regions and data centers. A cloud VDI solution can also offer better performance, availability, and user experience for remote and mobile workers who need to access their desktops and applications from anywhere and any device12.

– The organization has limited CapEx budget. A cloud VDI solution can reduce the upfront capital expenditure (CapEx) required to purchase, install, and maintain the hardware and software infrastructure for a VDI solution. A cloud VDI solution can also lower the operational expenditure (OpEx) by shifting the responsibility of managing, updating, and securing the VDI infrastructure to the cloud provider. A cloud VDI solution can offer flexible and predictable pricing models based on usage, subscription, or consumption13.

The other scenarios are not appropriate for a cloud implementation of a VDI solution over an on-premises solution because:

– The organization already has infrastructure to support a VDI. If the organization has already invested in the hardware and software resources to support a VDI solution, it may not be cost-effective or feasible to migrate to a cloud VDI solution. The organization may also have existing policies, processes, and workflows that are tailored to the on-premises VDI solution and may not be compatible with the cloud VDI solution4.

– The organization needs to setup high availability and disaster recovery. While a cloud VDI solution can provide high availability and disaster recovery capabilities, it may not be sufficient or reliable for some organizations that have strict requirements for data protection, compliance, and business continuity. An on-premises VDI solution can offermore control, customization, and security over the backup, replication, and restoration of the VDI data and applications in the event of a disaster5.

– The organization controls highly confidential data. A cloud VDI solution may pose some risks or challenges for organizations that handle sensitive or regulated data, such as financial, healthcare, or government data. A cloud VDI solution may not meet the compliance standards or regulations that apply to the organization’s data. A cloud VDI solution may also expose the organization’s data to potential breaches, leaks, or unauthorized access by third parties. An on-premises VDI solution can provide more visibility, governance, and encryption over the organization’s data6.

Question #17

What are two best practices for Windows Golden Image Optimization? (Choose two.)

A . Activate Windows OS paging.
B . Turn on automatic Windows maintenance (scheduled tasks).
C . Turn on automatic Windows Updates.
D . Disable unnecessary services.
E . Disable power options.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: D, E
D, E

Explanation:

Windows golden image optimization is the process of reducing the size and improving the performance of the Windows OS image that is used as the base for the desktop pools.

Some of the best practices for Windows golden image optimization are:

– Disable unnecessary services: Services that are not required for the desktop functionality or user experience should be disabled to reduce the resource consumption and potential security risks.

For example, services such as Windows Search, Windows Defender, Windows Update, and Superfetch can be disabled for better performance and stability.

– Disable power options: Power options such as hibernation and sleep mode should be disabled to free up disk space and avoid potential issues with the desktop state. Hibernation can consume a large amount of disk space by creating a hiberfil.sys file that stores the system memory contents when the desktop is powered off. Sleep mode can cause problems with network connectivity and user sessions when the desktop is resumed from a low-power state.

Other best practices for Windows golden image optimization include:

– Activate Windows OS paging: Paging is a mechanism that allows the OS to use a portion of the disk as virtual memory when the physical memory is insufficient. Paging can improve the performance and stability of the desktops by preventing out-of-memory errors and reducing memory contention. However, paging can also increase disk I/O and wear, so it should be configured with caution and monitored regularly.

– Turn off automatic Windows maintenance (scheduled tasks): Automatic Windows maintenance is a feature that runs various tasks such as disk defragmentation, disk cleanup, security scanning, and system diagnostics in the background. These tasks can consume a lot of CPU, memory, and disk resources and interfere with the user experience and desktop performance. Therefore, it is recommended to turn off automatic Windows maintenance and run these tasks manually or on a scheduled basis when the desktops are not in use.

– Turn off automatic Windows Updates: Automatic Windows Updates is a feature that downloads and installs updates for the OS and other Microsoft products in the background. These updates can consume bandwidth, disk space, and CPUresources and cause compatibility issues with some applications or drivers. Therefore, it is recommended to turn off automatic Windows Updates and manage the updates manually or through a centralized tool such as VMware Update Manager or Microsoft WSUS.
