An architect is conducting interviews to gather requirements for a new vSphere-based private cloud solution.The following information has been provided by the customer:The customer, after 10 years within an outsourced managed service contract, has decided to bring application hosting back in-house but lacks the VMware skills to support this.The customer currently has 5,000 workloads under contract and managed by their partner.The customer would like to keep IT infrastructure costs at a minimum.The customer would like to ensure that the solution supports the company's green IT agenda by reducing their carbon footprint.Which statement is classified as a business factor that would impact the design?
An architect is documenting the design for a new multi-site vSphere solution. The customer has informed the architect that the workloads hosted on the solution are managed by application teams who must perform a number of steps to return the application to service following a failover of the workloads to the secondary site. These steps are defined as the Work Recovery Time (WRT). The customer has provided the architect with the following information about the workloads, including the recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO):Critical workloads have a WRT of 12 hoursProduction workloads have a WRT of 24 hoursDevelopment workloads have a WRT of 24 hoursAll workloads have an RPO of 4 hoursCritical workloads have an RTO of 1 hourProduction workloads have an RTO of 12 hoursDevelopment workloads have an RTO of 24 hoursThe customer has also confirmed that production and development workloads are managed by the same team and the disaster recovery solution will not begin the recovery of the development workloads until all critical and production workloads have been recovered at the secondary site.Which three statements would the architect document as the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) for workloads within the design? (Choose three.)
An architect is tasked with designing a solution to monitor the operational state of a VMware Cloud Foundation environment through ad-hoc reporting and custom dashboards, alerts, and notifications.Using VMware Validated Solutions, which validated solution can the architect leverage to meet this requirement?
An architect is designing a new vSphere 8 environment and needs to plan the migration of virtual machines from the source vSphere 7 infrastructure.The following has been captured about the source infrastructure and project:All virtual machines operate supported versions of Microsoft WindowsAll virtual machines have VMware Tools 11 or higher installed vCenter Enhanced Linked Mode is configuredVMware PowerCLI is available in the environmentNo budget is available for discovery toolingThe architect must capture and review active services from inside running virtual machines to inform the migration design.Considering the information available, which method can the architect use to acquire the information required?
An architect is tasked with updating the design of an existing vSphere-based solution for a pharmaceuticals customer. The update will include upgrade to VMware vCenter 8 and VMware vSphere 8 and the creation of a new cluster that will be used for ongoing research projects. The research project that is driving the need for an update includes a number of applications that are latency-sensitive.The customer has confirmed the following information during the initial workshop:The customer recently completed a right sizing exercise using VMware Aria Operations that resulted in a number of ESXi hosts becoming available for use.Each of the VMware ESXi host servers is configured with:2 x 20-core Intel Xeon CPU sockets1024 GB RAM divided evenly between socketsThere is no additional budget for purchasing hardware.After confirming the existing hardware is still listed on the VMware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL), the architect makes the following design decisions with regard to the workload design:The solution will support a maximum of 20 combined cores and sockets per virtual machine.The solution will support a maximum of 512 GB RAM per virtual machine.What should the architect document as justification for these design decisions?
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.)
