Which Citrix ADC platform offers an out-of-the-box, hardware-independent, multi-tenant solution?

• A. SDX
• B. CPX
• C. MPX
• D. VPX

Answer: (D)

VPX is the Citrix ADC virtual appliance designed to run on standard hypervisors, making it hardware-independent. Because it’s software-based, you can deploy it on VMware, Hyper-V, or KVM without needing dedicated hardware. This flexibility naturally supports multi-tenant setups: you can spin up multiple isolated VPX instances or allocate separate slices of resources to different tenants within a virtualized environment, delivering separation and scalability out of the box. In contrast, MPX and SDX rely on physical hardware platforms, with SDX offering multi-tenant capabilities but still tied to the hardware chassis, and MPX being a physical appliance. CPX is container-focused and, while useful for microservices, doesn’t represent the same hardware-independent, ready-to-run multi-tenant model as VPX.
