An architect is tasked with reviewing the design of a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) for a software development company. The platform is used to developing applications and services. It is important that the customer be able to accurately benchmark performance of developed applications.The platform has recently commissioned new hosts to update the development cluster.The development cluster host configuration is:✑ 4 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets ֳ— 16 cores✑ 512 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets✑ There is no resource contentionThe benchmarking cluster host configuration is:✑ 8 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets ֳ— 8 cores✑ 256 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets✑ There is no resource contentionThe customer is developing an application that includes a database virtual machine. The application developer states that the database virtual machine performs as required only when allocated 8 vCPUs 256 GB RAM. The database virtual machine performance meets the required levels when run from the development cluster. Performance benchmarking for the database virtual machine yields highly variable results when run from the benchmarking cluster. The application cannot be released without reliable performance benchmarking data.What is a possible reason for the difference in performance test results between the development and benchmarking clusters?
During a transformation project kick-off meeting, an architect highlights specific areas on which to focus while developing the new conceptual design.Which two of the listed statements are business requirements? (Choose two.)
An architect is designing a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution based on the following customer requirements:✑ The solution must initially support 1,000 virtual machines✑ The solution must scale to support the concurrent running of up to 5,000 virtual machines✑ The production environment should be delivered across two data centers✑ The solution should have a maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) of four hours✑ The solution should have a monthly service availability target of 99.8%Which two assumptions could the architect make based on the information from the customer to help size the solution? (Choose two.)
A customer requires the use of data encryption to ensure data is not accessible when a drive is removed from the primary storage platform. However, there is also a requirement to use deduplication and compression against all workloads in order to conserve space.Which solution meets the customer requirements?
During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer's Chief Information Security Office (CISO) provides the following requirements that are pertinent to the design of a new vSphere environment:✑ All operating system critical patches must be installed within 24 hours of release.✑ All virtual machine templates must be updated every three months in line with company policy.Which requirement classification is being gathered for the design documentation?
Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as performance non-functional requirements? (Choose two.)
