Correct answerD
ExplanationThe cost of collecting the metrics, and the balance between the value they provide and the impact on application operation. If metering code cannot be incorporated into existing components or roles, and you need to increase the number of instances of components or roles just to carry out metering, you might increase costs beyond the savings or income available from metering.

Case 1 Refer to the exhibit.  Your company recently negotiated several contracts with new customers to use its proprietary eCommerce system. As a result, the customer base has grown rapidly, which has introduced several challenges and requirements. Business requirements: Applications need to scale quickly Metrics and reporting to anticipate business trends and efficient use of resources External customers are looking to license the eCommerce application Other considerations: Applications need to be recorded for the public cloud Address security vulnerabilities for customer data in the cloud Refer to Case 1. You are tasked with designing a cloud. You review the existing infrastructure and business requirements. You select a CI solution to replace the existing Platform 2.0 infrastructure. Before presenting this solution to the company, you must calculate the 3-year TCO using the following criteria: Hardware maintenance = $ 35,000 Software maintenance = $ 20,000 Storage = $ 2,000 (2TB @ $ 1/GB) What is the correct TCO value?

Explanation* In the ITaas model, corporate IT offers a menu of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS options for business users via a centralized service catalog. Business users are free to pick and choose cloud services that corporate IT has vetted, or provide themselves. These users can make informed decisions based on service pricing and SLAs, and can in many cases can provision services on their own. * ITaas can be implemented through new consumption models leveraging self-service catalogs offering both internal and external services; providing IT financial transparency for costs and pricing; offering consumerized IT ?such as bring your own device (BYoD) ?to meet the needs of users. All of which simplify and encourage consumption of services. * A service-level agreement (SLA) is a part of a standardized service contract where a service is formally defined. Particular aspects of the service ?scope, quality, responsibilities ?are agreed between the service provider and the service user.

Question 10
Single choice
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS REMINDER The remaining questions are associated with two cases. Each case has an introductory, descriptive passage (case text) that describes background information and requirements for a specific cloud based design. And each case has a set of six related, randomized questions. You will need to read the case text in order to answer the related questions correctly. Given that there are two cases with six scored questions each, the total number of case-based scored questions is 12. When you display each questions you can easily review the related case text in a pop-up window by clicking on the "Case" icon (shown below) Case 4 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.
