Nutanix NCSE-CORE Online Questions & Answers

• Question 1:

  A prospective customer wants to migrate database workloads to Nutanix. They are currently running these workloads on a 3-tier vSphere architecture made up of 5 hosts connected to a hybrid SAN over 10G iSCSI. The hosts each have 256G RAM and 2 Broadwell 2.8Ghz 12 core processors. The largest database VM is configured with 64G of memory. Some databases are fairly old and single threaded Current performance is deemed acceptable.

  Which configuration component is most important to maintain the customer experience on a new Nutanix cluster and minimize costs ?

  A. Make sure the cluster uses 25G nics to speed up the network
  B. Make sure the cluster uses similar speed processors regardless of generation
  C. Make sure the cluster uses 512G per host to protect NUMA boundaries.
  D. Make sure the cluster is all flash to speed up data access.
  C. Make sure the cluster uses 512G per host to protect NUMA boundaries.

  D. Tedious sizing of compute and storage requirements
  A. Elimination of siloed storage with file, block and object storage in a single platform
  C. Ability to avoid generational infrastructure silos using modem life cycle management

• Question 8:

  An SE is conducting a first call presentation with their Account Executive and a prospect. The prospect needs to build a private cloud but has been unable to implement the solution in-house, since using their traditional architecture would require integrating server, storage and networking solutions from six different vendors.

  The cost and complexity of that approach is too high. Also their current infrastructure is not built for scalability or performance.

  The prospect has considered upgrading their traditional server and SAN storage platforms but could not meet requirements for scale and performance using this approach.

  In what order should the SE present the critical product and technology portions of the First Customer Presentation to the IT Director?

  A. Native convergence of traditional infrastructure. Scalable distributed system. Data locality and distributed data. Application automation with Calm. Xi Cloud Services.
  B. Application automation with Calm. Xi Cloud Services. Native convergence of traditional infrastructure. Scalable distributed system. Data locality and distributed data.
  C. Xi Cloud Services. Application automation with Calm. Native convergence of traditional infrastructure. Scalable distributed system. Data locality and distributed data.
  D. Data locality and distributed data. Scalable distributed system. Native convergence of traditional infrastructure. Xi Cloud Services. Application automation with Calm.
  D. Data locality and distributed data. Scalable distributed system. Native convergence of traditional infrastructure. Xi Cloud Services. Application automation with Calm.

• Question 9:

  A prospect is evaluating HEP SimpliVity and Nutanix Software-Only on HPE servers and receives FUD from the competition regarding HPE not supporting or officially partnering with Nutanix.

  which two items should be leveraged to overcome concern about product supportability? (Choose two)

  A. TSAnet
  B. SimpliVity competitive briefing
  C. NX appliances
  D. Nutanix Sizer BOM
  E. Nutanix Software Only HCL
  A. TSAnet
  E. Nutanix Software Only HCL

• Question 10:

  A guest VM should be able to tolerate simultaneous failure of two nodes or drives.

  What are the minimum requirements for the Nutanix cluster?

  A. 3 nodes with cluster RF 3 and container RF 3
  B. 3 nodes with cluster RF 3 and container RF 2
  C. 5 nodes with cluster RF 2 and container RF 3
