An architect is designing an environment for a retail customer. The design will use a single small vCenter Server Appliance and a cluster of eight ESXi hosts at a remote site. There is a single 10 GbE connected network at the remote site to support all management services. It is not possible to create additional management networks at the remote site. Virtual machine backups at the site will be dependent on the vCenter Server being available.
Which design decision should the architect make to maximize availability for backups?
An architect is designing storage for a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements:
Asynchronous replication is required between two sites.
The impact on the storage layer should not impact the performance of the compute layer.
Each application tier will require different replication attributes.
Virtual machine live migration across compute and storage must be supported.
Virtual machine aware back up will be leveraged.
Operational management overhead should be minimized.
Operational automation should be supported.
Which storage design recommendations would meet the requirements?
An architect is tasked with designing a greenfield VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution that will be used to deliver a private cloud service for a customer.
During the initial meeting with the service owner and business sponsor, the customer has provided the following information to help inform the design:
The solution must support the concurrent running of 1,000 virtual machines
The production environment must be delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers All virtual machines must be capable of running in either data center.
The two data centers are currently connected to each other through a single but diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency link.
The link between the two data centers is capable of supporting a round-trip time (RTT) of 150 ms The existing server hardware standard document states that all virtual infrastructure hosts must be deployed using vSAN ReadyNodes
The service owner has stated that it is critical to ensure the availability target of 99.9% All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service
The recovery time objective (RTO) for the service is five minutes
The recovery point objective (RPO) of the service is four hours
Which two elements represent risks to the successful delivery of this solution? (Choose two.)
An architect is designing a solution based on the following information:
Each ESXi host has a single physical NIC with two 10 Gbps ports.
There is a performance-based service-level agreement (SLA) that guarantees 15 Gbps bandwidth for production virtual machines at all times.
There is no budget to purchase additional hardware.
The hardware replacement SLA is based on a delivery agreement of two business days.
Which recommendation for the configuration of vSphere High Availability (HA) should the architect include in the design?
An architect is designing the expansion of an existing vSphere 7 environment. The customer is requesting a design for a new cluster to support the anticipated future business growth. The requirements specified for the existing environment design must be considered when designing the new cluster.
The existing design has the following requirements:
REQ01 The environment has an availability target of 99.5% for all infrastructure.
REQ02 The recovery time objective (RTO) for Tier 1 virtual machines is one hour.
REQ03 Windows and Linux virtual machines must reside on separate clusters.
REQ04 Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled.
Which of the listed requirements would be classified as a functional requirement?
A VMware Service Provider is tasked with delivering a solution for continuous availability for a subset of Tier 1 virtual machines (VMs) and vApps running in their vSAN environment. The VMs make up a mission-critical application and there can be no data loss in the event of an outage at their primary data center. In the event of a regional outage, they have established a 10-minute recovery point objective (RPO). Failover/failback to the third site must be automated.
They have the following in place:
Two local data centers (primary and secondary) connected with 100 Gb dedicated fiber
2ms round-trip time (RTT) latency between the sites
A third data center located on another power grid
70ms latency between the primary and secondary data centers
Matching storage arrays at all locations
Which two solutions could be used to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)
An architect is designing a new vSphere platform for a customer to meet the following requirements:
The platform must be deployed into five physically separate sites.
The sites are spread across multiple regions.
Some sites require more than one vCenter Server.
The platform must provide an administrator with the ability to access virtual infrastructure components across all sites from a single management tool instance.
Which single sign-on (SSO) design recommendation will meet these requirements?
During a transformation project kick-off meeting, an architect highlights specific areas on which to focus while developing the new conceptual design.
Which two of the listed statements are business requirements? (Choose two.)
There is a request for approved virtual machine applications through a new vSphere platform’s integrated automation portal. The platform was built following all provided company security guidelines and has been assessed against Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) regulations.
The platform has the following characteristics:
vRealize Operations is being used to monitor all clusters.
There is a dedicated ESXi cluster, supporting all management services.
All network traffic is via distributed virtual switches (DVS).
There is a dedicated ESXi cluster for all line-of-business applications.
Network traffic is serviced by NSX-T.
There is a dedicated ESXi cluster for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Network traffic is serviced by NSX-T.
The application owner is requesting approval to install a new service that must be protected as per the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.
Which additional non-functional requirement should the architect include in the design to support the new service?
Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as performance non-functional requirements? (Choose two.)
