A company has a requirement that all production applications must have a maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) of one hour per month.
Which statement would be included in the physical design to support this requirement?
An architect is designing a vSphere-based private cloud solution to support the following customer requirements:
The solution should support running 5,000 concurrent production compute workloads across the primary and secondary sites.
The solution should support running 1,000 development compute workloads within the secondary site.
The solution should support up to 50 management workloads across the primary and secondary site.
The solution must ensure the isolation of virtual infrastructure management operations between management and compute workloads.
The solution must ensure that hosting of any virtual infrastructure management workloads does not impact the amount of capacity available for compute workloads.
The solution must ensure that all production compute workloads are physically isolated from development compute workloads.
The solution must ensure that the operational management of compute workloads in the secondary site is possible in the event of a disaster affecting the primary site.
A combination of which four design decisions should the architect make to support the requirements? (Choose four.)
An architect is tasked with an application migration to a new VMware Cloud platform. The application service owner assistance from the architect to identify the technical requirements of the application.
The following has been made available following initial discussions:
A VMware Aria Operations report containing current resource usage
The output from a planning session including a roadmap for planned service growth
A service dependency map from the company’s IT operations management tool
The desired consolidation ratio for the target platform is 10:1
The applications hosting budget is reducing by 10%
Which two contain the technical requirements of the application? (Choose two.)
An architect is designing an upgrade to an existing vSphere environment. The project has been created to provide options for enabling growth and scalability, without increasing the data center footprint. The CIO has also tasked the architect with updating data protection operations, from the current agent-based backup approach.
During a workshop with key stakeholders, the following information has been noted:
The existing vSphere environment uses an external fibre attached storage array for the vSphere environment
The storage array is connected via 4 Gbps fibre cards host bus adaptors (HBAs)
The storage array does not support VMware Storage APIs—Data Protection (VADP)
The architecture must support scaling virtual machines CPU, memory, and storage
The environment will grow by an additional 20% virtual machines year over year
Only two additional racks of equipment can be provisioned
Which design choice will meet these requirements?
An architect will be updating an existing vSphere data center design.
The following information has been provided:
The new design must carry over existing VLANs for workloads.
The networking for storage must not share the data path with workload traffic.
The new design must be able to add additional VLANS.
The new design must reduce management overhead.
The new replacement servers have two 100 GB network cards.
Which design will meet the requirements for existing workload networks and allow scaling of additional networks?
An architect is discussing recoverability considerations for a new vSphere solution as part of a requirements workshop. The customer has informed the architect that the company policy is to not perform backups of ESXi hosts due to their selected backup software not supporting the ESXi software. In the past, when hosts have experienced failures, the hosts have been reinstalled from the VMware provided ESXi image and manually configured by an administrator. The customer asks the architect to design a solution that will reduce the manual effort required by the administrator to return a failed host to service.
What could the architect include in the design to meet the customer's request?
An architect is responsible for designing a new vSphere-based solution to meet the following customer requirements:
The solution must support component-level redundancy.
The solution must support physical segregation of management and workload traffic.
Any traffic from virtual infrastructure-level operations (such as migrations of workloads between hosts within a cluster) must not impact any workload.
The solution should react to any substantial impact of physical network traffic to ensure workload traffic is unaffected.
In response to this requirement, the architect makes the following logical design decisions:
The solution will separate vSphere management traffic from all other network traffic.
The solution will ensure that all replication and vMotion traffic will be separated from all other traffic.
The solution will separate workload traffic from all other network traffic.
The customer has a hardware standard for physical VMware ESXi host servers that includes 6 x 10 GbE network.
Which three physical design decisions should the architect make to meet the requirements? (Choose three.)
An architect is working on a security design for a shared storage environment. The storage array provides connectivity by the NFS protocol.
Which two design decisions could the architect include for this solution? (Choose two.)
An architect is designing the virtual networking components of a vSphere-based solution that will provide an environment for the development of a new latency sensitive stock trading application.
The following information was identified within the initial meeting with the customer:
The customer has vCenter Standard and vSphere Standard licenses left over from a previous project.
The customer's CFO has approved budget for additional purchases, if required.
The following requirements were also identified during the meeting:
The solution must support 500 development workloads concurrently running in the secondary site.
The solution must support the ability to complete all vSphere Operational Management centrally.
The solution must ensure business-critical applications are not impacted by vSphere system-level operations.
Given the requirements, the architect has decided on a single 20-node cluster for development.
Which three additional design decisions should the architect make to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)
An architect is responsible for designing the upgrade of a brownfield vSphere-based solution for a financial services customer. The customer has a requirement to host a mission critical, latency sensitive stock trading application.
During initial meetings with the customer, the following information is provided:
The solution is currently running vSphere 7.0 U3
All vSphere distributed switches (VDS) are at version 7.0.0
The customer has provisioned new hardware with dedicated AMD Data Processing Units (DPU)
The mission critical applications must not be adversely affected by other workloads running in the environment
The architect has made the following design decisions:
The solution will upgrade the existing VMware vCenter Server to version 8.0
The solution will upgrade all existing VMware ESXi hosts to version 8.0
The solution will deploy VMware ESXi 8.0 for all new host servers
Which three additional design decisions should the architect make to ensure that the new hardware can be used to support the latency-sensitive application? (Choose three.)
