An organization uses Linux desktops, laptops, and servers for their primary infrastructure. The company has a business need to run a mission critical application that is only available for the Microsoft Windows operating system. This application and associated data need to be available to 10-12 users.
Which solution would best meet their needs, and why?
A. VDI, because it provides better fault tolerance
B. VDI, because it offers a lower cost per user than
C. RDS, because it offers true user segmentation
D. RDS, because it provides better fault tolerance
Which solution would address your requirement to encrypt data that will be stored in several SAN-attached storage systems, including both disk arrays and tape libraries?
A. Cisco SME
B. VMAX D@RE
C. PowerPath/VE with RSA Encryption
D. EMC VPLEX
What is a key business driver for automation in the virtualized data center?
A. Service-level agreements
B. Service metric reporting
C. Change management policy
D. Technology integration
A small organization plans to migrate a critical application from a traditional, physical infrastructure to the first servers in their VDC. This will be one of several applications the organization plans to migrate over the next 2-3 years.
As this is a new VDC implementation, they have not yet realized any of the benefits of a fully virtualized infrastructure. They have retained an experienced consulting service to help them build a detailed migration plan.
Which migration strategy will they most likely use and why?
A. A phased approach, because they have planning assistance that may be cost sensitive.
B. A forklift approach, because they have new servers available and can move small sections of the environment at a time.
C. A phased approach, because they can keep the existing systems online in parallel with the new systems.
D. A forklift approach, since it is less expensive than a phased approach and existing systems can be maintained online in parallel.
A company has finished the design for their VDC. They realize that they should also include a few design considerations to prepare them for cloud.
What is a key organizational reason for the company to build a cloud-based service?
A. Lines of business can self provision resources
B. Lines of business can more easily reorganize
C. Lines of business obtain what they want from IT
D. Service levels are guaranteed to improve
A small company is deploying VDI as part of a VDC initiative. The storage array currently being used for VDI and other applications uses SSD, SAS and NL SAS drives. The SSDs are used exclusively by the email servers; the SAS and NL SAS drives are used by all the applications, including VDI. Each application is configured to use one or more storage pools.
Every morning at 9:00 AM, the performance of all applications connected to the storage array degrades significantly for a period of time and then returns to normal.
How can this issue be resolved with the least capital expenditure, in the shortest amount of time, and without impacting the normal performance of the applications?
A. Migrate the LUNs on the SSDs to SAS drives, then allocate the SSDs to a caching tier.
B. Purchase new SSDs to use for VDI deployment.
C. Purchase new SSDs for the other (non-VDI) applications.
D. Migrate the LUNs on the SSDs to SAS drives, then allocate the SSDs to the VDI storage pool.
Which type of application is a poor candidate for migration to a VDC?
A. One that uses a specific BIOS
B. One that uses an open source database
C. One that uses an n-tier architecture
D. One that has horizontal or web-scale characteristics
To address security concerns when configuring a server, why should you avoid the use of non-persistent disks?
A. Increasing the RAID level reduces the number of points that can be attacked
B. Security limits vMotion flexibility
C. Disk segmentation reduces the risk of security attacks
D. A system reboot can remove traces of attacks
Your customer is a law firm of about 500 people. They have decided to purchase a storage array. The IT staff wants to implement a converged network instead of the traditional LAN and SAN model.
What benefit of FCoE/converged networking can they present to the CTO to obtain approval for implementing this technology?
A. Increased bandwidth
B. Improved fault tolerance
C. Increased distance capabilities
D. Reduced operational expenses
A large company has multiple data centers with heterogeneous arrays of various sizes at each site. Some arrays are reaching maximum utilization, and other arrays are underutilized.
Which storage virtualization method would enable them to improve overall utilization across sites?
A. Flash drive cache tiering
B. Horizontal storage tiering
C. Vertical storage tiering
D. Server-based storage tiering
