An architect is designing an upgrade to an existing vSphere environment. The project has been created to provide options for enabling growth and scalability, without increasing the data center footprint. The CIO has also tasked the architect with updating data protection operations, from the current agent-based backup approach.During a workshop with key stakeholders, the following information has been noted:The existing vSphere environment uses an external fibre attached storage array for the vSphere environmentThe storage array is connected via 4 Gbps fibre cards host bus adaptors (HBAs)The storage array does not support VMware Storage APIs—Data Protection (VADP)The architecture must support scaling virtual machines CPU, memory, and storageThe environment will grow by an additional 20% virtual machines year over yearOnly two additional racks of equipment can be provisionedWhich design choice will meet these requirements?
An architect is responsible for extending the hosting design for a customer. The customer has a mission-critical 3-node application which is load balanced in an active/active/passive configuration. The application administrator requests that the virtual infrastructure team be responsible for maintaining platform level availability. An organizational policy exists to mandate the highest possible availability for mission-critical applications.Based on the resource requirements, the architect has made the following design decision:The target vSphere cluster contains three VMware ESXi host serversA combination of which additional four physical design decisions should the architect make to maximize availability of the application? (Choose four.)
An architect is reviewing the information provided by a customer for a new vSphere solution design. The customer has stated that some of the virtual machines (VMs) that will be hosted on the new solution handle credit card information from their users as part of an online payment application, and that some of the information will need to be stored temporarily to allow transactions to be completed. Therefore, the solution must be designed to be able to mask or hash the stored information as they will need to show compliance against common industry standards that contain references to the requirements for handling sensitive information.Which design quality is being requested by the customer?
Which four factors should an architect consider when calculating the number of hosts required for a new multi-site vSphere-based solution that utilizes external storage? (Choose four.)
An architect is designing a backup solution.Which two statements should be included in the logical design for this solution? (Choose two.)
Following a review of security requirements, an architect has confirmed the following requirements:REQ001- A clustered firewall solution must be placed at the perimeter of the hosting platform, and all ingress and egress network traffic will route via this device.REQ002- A distributed firewall solution must secure traffic for all virtualized workloads.REQ003- All virtualized workload, hypervisor, firewall and any management component system events must be monitored by security administrators.REQ004- The hosting platforms security information and event management (SIEM) system must be scalable to 20,000 events per second.REQ005- The hosting platforms storage must be configured with data-at-rest encryption.REQ006- The hosting platform limits access to authorized users.Which three requirements would be classified as technical (formerly non-functional) requirements? (Choose three.)
