A customer requests a review of its current vSphere platform design. The following information is noted: There are three different workload profiles for the virtual machines: Tier-1 virtual machines operate resource-intensive applications and require dedicated allocations for CPU and RAM. Tier-2 virtual machines operate internet-facing applications and require access to externally facing networks. Tier-3 virtual machines operate platform management tools such as vCenter Server and have different lifecycle m

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following information: Each host has 2 × 10 GbE NIC EtherChannel is not currently configured No changes can be made to the physical network Network throughput must be prioritized for defined critical services Which two recommendations should the architect make with regard to virtual networking? (Choose two.)

An architect will be taking over control of a former Linux server fleet and repurposing the hardware into a new vSphere cluster. The current environment is already connected to the network but the hosts do not have any local disks. Since the fleet hardware is uniform, the architect can use a single ESXi image. All hosts within the cluster have the same CPU and memory capacity. Which ESXi deployment method should the architect use?

An architect is finalizing the design for a new vCenter Server High Availability deployment. What is one thing the architect must document in the design?

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following requirement: A new vSphere platform must be designed securely and all interfaces must be protected against potential snooping. How should this non-functional security requirement be documented?

An architect makes the design decision to install ESXi on embedded and resilient 8 GB SD cards. What is the impact of this design decision?

An architect is finalizing the design for a new vSphere platform based on the following information: All Windows virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes. All Linux virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes. All management virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster. A total of ten physical sites will be used to host virtual machines. In the event of one physical datacenter becoming unavailable, the manageability of the virt

A new real-time financial service application is being developed by the engineering team at a financial firm and will be released as a public Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering. The solutions architect has designed and deployed a new vSphere environment and the supporting network infrastructure for hosting all public services. ESXi hosts are configured to use Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and a local stratum-1 network time server. Application provisioning and scaling will be managed by VMware vRealize Au

An architect is designing a new vSphere environment with the following resources: 600 vCPU 5,760 GB RAM Average resource usage is: 60 vCPU 1,152 GB RAM The design must meet the following requirements: The environment has the ability to burst by 25%. Each host can schedule 36 vCPUs and has 512 GB RAM. Management overhead is 20%. What is the minimum number of hosts required to meet the design requirements?

An architect is designing a new VMware solution for a customer that has a number of different resource profiles. The following are the business requirements for the design: The solution must support virtual machines with the following storage profiles: -Write-intensive -Backup -Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) archive The solution must support migration of virtual machine disks between storage profiles. The WORM archive data must be located at an isolated secure site. The backup storage array must only be connec

A Cloud Service Provider wants to introduce backup as a service for a customer’s vSphere-based virtual machines. The following information is noted: All top-of-rack (ToR) switches are 10 GbE and fully populated The backup traffic must not impact existing services Which two recommendations should the architect make to help the customer incorporate the service? (Choose two.)
