During the assessment phase of the design process, the cloud architect discovers that an organization wants to provide consumers with the ability to backup and restore specific data within a virtual machine.
Which backup application functionality will support this requirement?
- A . Cloud gateway backups
- B . Agent-based backups
- C . Object storage backups
- D . Array-based snapshots
Refer to the exhibit.
Your company is currently using a traditional SAN storage network. The server infrastructure is partially virtualized. There is a public cloud in place that is used to test development and application migration to cloud.
Business requirements:
– Consolidate the network, storage, and compute resources
– Simplify network management and storage provisioning
– Maintain application performance
– A disaster recovery plan to meet RTO / RPO targets
Other considerations:
– All data must be secured at rest and in-flight
– Include an app development platform
Refer to Case 6.
You are designing the network components for a DIY private cloud solution. You want to provide a single Fabric Domain Name Server to all nodes.
Which compute to storage connectivity solution provides this function?
- A . VSAN
- B . FC SAN
- C . VXLAN
- D . VLAN
What accurately describes ITaaS?
- A . Transforms the role of IT from a broker of strategic business value to a cost center
- B . Service model that can be requested from a service catalog
- C . Financial-centric transformation approach to providing IT services to an organization
- D . Focuses on business outcomes such as operational efficiency and rapid response
What is a critical consideration when designing a CMP solution for multi-cloud management?
- A . Vendor lock-in
- B . Limiting scalability options
- C . Ignoring cost optimization
- D . Avoiding automation
You are creating a cloud infrastructure design for an organization. The cloud design includes physical servers with hypervisors which will be used to host consumer services. The hosts are managed through a hypervisor element manager.
Which step should be taken to secure the hypervisor environment?
- A . Place the element manager administrative interfaces on a consumer-facing network and hypervisor administrative interfaces on an isolated network
- B . Place the element manager administrative interfaces on a consumer-facing network and hypervisor administrative interfaces on a secure network
- C . Place the element manager and hypervisor administrative interfaces on a secure network
- D . Place the element manager and hypervisor administrative interfaces on a consumer- facing network
Refer to the exhibit.
Your company is currently using a traditional SAN storage network. The server infrastructure is partially virtualized. There is a public cloud in place that is used to test development and application migration to cloud.
Business requirements:
– Consolidate the network, storage, and compute resources
– Simplify network management and storage provisioning
– Maintain application performance
– Need to share resources to reduce cost and improve efficiency
Other considerations:
– Monitoring of protection SLAs
– All transactions must be logged for auditing review
– Users are validated using internal credentials
Refer to Case 4.
You must design the solution to enable external access to the eCommerce application using a Public cloud. The development team wants to ensure that the application has a known performance profile.
Which consideration offers best practices to address this concern?
- A . Automation Management
- B . Multicloud Compliance
- C . Interoperability
- D . Physical Server Consistency
Which storage category and feature is represented by EMC XtremIO?
- A . Central storage and full redundancy
- B . Distributed storage and Flash
- C . Central storage and active/passive
- D . Distributed storage and full redundancy
When designing for large addressing space in HCI nodes, what operations(s) negatively impacts cost of performance?
- A . First write
- B . Page-in and page-out
- C . Random write
- D . Sequential read
When might an organization choose to architect a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) solution over a pre-packaged one?
- A . When they have unlimited budget constraints
- B . When they require full control and customization
- C . When they want to avoid any involvement in the design process
- D . When they prefer vendor lock-in
During an assessment for an organization’s cloud design, a cloud architect discovers that developers will be creating applications for tenants. The applications will self-scale based on an internal trigger. The architect has included CMP components in the design that will support this requirement.
What else should the cloud architect consider to meet this requirement?
- A . CMP account with elevated privileges exists that can be shared with developers
- B . Mechanisms exist for changing the type of consumer resources automatically
- C . Mechanisms exist for re-installing CMP components for scaling
- D . Sufficient consumer resources exist to support the application elasticity
