1Y0-312 Migration and Cloud Integration Practice Question
An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site uses a Citrix Gateway (formerly NetScaler) for external access. After migration, the administrator wants to continue using the existing Citrix Gateway to provide external access to the published resources. Which statement correctly describes the integration of an on-premises Citrix Gateway with Citrix DaaS?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is thinking that the on-premises Citrix Gateway must be registered with Citrix Cloud or replaced by the Citrix Gateway service, when it can simply be pointed to the Workspace URL or StoreFront.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The on-premises Citrix Gateway can be used with Citrix DaaS by configuring it to point to the Citrix Workspace URL or a StoreFront server that is integrated with Citrix DaaS, and it does not require a Cloud Connector on the Gateway itself.
An on-premises Citrix Gateway can be leveraged with Citrix DaaS by configuring it to direct users to the Citrix Workspace URL or an integrated StoreFront server. This allows organizations to maintain their existing external access infrastructure without deploying a Cloud Connector on the Gateway. Cloud Connectors are still required to connect the on-premises resource location to Citrix Cloud for VDA registration and communication.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The on-premises Citrix Gateway can be integrated with Citrix DaaS by using the Citrix Gateway service in Citrix Cloud, which requires the Gateway to be registered with Citrix Cloud.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the Citrix Gateway service is a cloud-based service that does not use an on-premises Citrix Gateway. Instead, the on-premises Gateway can be used independently by configuring it to communicate with Citrix DaaS through StoreFront or the Workspace app. Registration with Citrix Cloud is not required for an on-premises Gateway.
- ✓
The on-premises Citrix Gateway can be used with Citrix DaaS by configuring it to point to the Citrix Workspace URL or a StoreFront server that is integrated with Citrix DaaS, and it does not require a Cloud Connector on the Gateway itself.
Why this is correct
This is correct because an on-premises Citrix Gateway can provide external access to Citrix DaaS by directing users to the Citrix Workspace URL or a StoreFront server that is connected to Citrix DaaS. The Gateway does not need a Cloud Connector; Cloud Connectors are deployed separately to connect the on-premises resource location to Citrix Cloud.
- ✗
The on-premises Citrix Gateway can be used with Citrix DaaS by configuring it as a StoreFront server, and it requires a Cloud Connector to be installed on the Gateway.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because Citrix Gateway is not configured as a StoreFront server; it acts as a secure remote access point. While Cloud Connectors are required for communication between Citrix Cloud and on-premises resources, they are not installed on the Citrix Gateway. The Gateway integrates with Citrix DaaS by pointing to the Citrix Workspace experience or StoreFront.
- ✗
The on-premises Citrix Gateway can be used with Citrix DaaS only if it is first migrated to Citrix Cloud and configured as a Gateway Connector within the Citrix Cloud console.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the on-premises Citrix Gateway does not need to be migrated to Citrix Cloud. It can continue to operate on-premises and provide external access by integrating with Citrix DaaS via StoreFront or the Workspace URL. Gateway Connectors are used for the Citrix Gateway service, which is a different solution.
