EMC EMC Specialist E20-018 Questions & Answers

  • Question 301:

    A company is thinking of deploying a new HR application to the public cloud.. However, they are concerned about the regulatory requirements. Several of the countries in which the company operates require that personal information not flow across country borders.

    What should the company do when it investigates cloud providers?

    A. Evaluate the cloud provider's architecture to ensure that it can satisfy regulatory requirements

    B. Accept the cloud provider's service-level agreement for specific protections regarding employee data

    C. Review the cloud provider's audit results to verify that it has never moved data across country borders

    D. Create a one-off contract with the cloud provider to specify handling of employee data

  • Question 302:

    Which backup solution(s) are possible candidates when there is a need to restore specific files on a VM?

    A. VM-based backup and image-based backup

    B. Storage-based backup only

    C. Hypervisor-based ("VM as flat file") backup

    D. Storage-based backup and image-based backup

  • Question 303:

    Why should storage technologies such as data deduplication and data compression be considered?

    A. They simplify storage configuration

    B. They improve storage efficiency

    C. They increase storage allocation

    D. They improve storage security

  • Question 304:

    You are meeting with the CIO to discuss your VDC design. They question the amount of capital that is being invested in iSCSI adapters. They state that, because of the number of adapters required, it is more cost-effective to purchase 10 Gigabit Ethernet NICs and use the integrated hypervisor software stack.

    How should you justify the increased cost of the iSCSI Adapters?

    A. Using NICs and the software stack will increase CPU load on each hypervisor, requiring more hypervisors to deliver the same performance levels. This will result in additional hardware and licensing costs.

    B. iSCSI adapters can encrypt iSCSI frames, preventing unauthorized access to the data. The hypervisor software stack cannot encrypt iSCSI frames, leaving the data vulnerable.

    C. Using NICs and the software stack will require additional NICs for each hypervisor to deliver the same throughput. To obtain the additional PCIe slots for the NICs, larger form- factor servers will be required, increasing hardware costs.

    D. iSCSI adapters can use Jumbo Frames, providing improved performance for storage traffic. The hypervisor software stack cannot use Jumbo Frames, resulting in poorer performance.

  • Question 305:

    What error accounts for 99% of the reasons why recovery and availability fail?

    A. Failures in automation scripts

    B. Configuration drift

    C. Failure to test for corrupted Backups

    D. Environmental issues

  • Question 306:

    A software manufacturer is planning to convert their VDC to IaaS. As part of the transformation to IaaS the company realizes they have to make several organizational changes.

    Which is the most likely starting point for their organizational transformation?

    A. Cross train IT operations and delivery personnel

    B. Create new service based roles in the lines of business

    C. Align GRC and Trust requirements

    D. Obtain executive and organizational buy-in

  • Question 307:

    You are using virtual (thin) provisioning to reduce the amount of physical storage that is initially required for an implementation.

    On the storage array, you configure a pool that contains 10 TB of physical storage and then define several LUNs that total 50 TB. These LUNs are presented to several hypervisor clusters. Virtual Machines are subsequently created using a thick format for the virtual hard disks.

    What is the maximum capacity that can be allocated for VM hard disks in this configuration?

    A. 10 TB

    B. 50 TB

    C. 60 TB

    D. 100 TB

  • Question 308:

    An application is designed with reusable modules that can be called by other applications as needed. What is this an example of?

    A. EAI via Mesh

    B. EAI

    C. SOA

    D. ESB

  • Question 309:

    What are three attributes of a cloud services design?

    A. Web-based APIs, shared resources, minimal capital expenditures

    B. Static service, fixed priced access, improved economics

    C. Accessed via a web portal, self-service, throttled access

    D. Dedicated resources, usage-based pricing, web-based APIs

  • Question 310:

    A customer has three VMware ESX hosts in a cluster. They need to configure the virtual guest servers to restart automatically on an alternate host if the original host becomes unavailable.

    Which service should be configured on the cluster?

    A. Resource Pooling

    B. Live Migration

    C. Load Balancing

    D. High Availability
