An architect is planning the physical server configuration for a vSAN-based infrastructure.
Which operations mode should a RAID controller support to minimize potential server downtime during physical disk failures?
An architect is reviewing a physical storage design. The customer has specified that a new active-passive based storage array will be used to provide storage for the vSphere clusters.
Which configuration should for the architect recommended?
An architect is designing a new vSphere platform for a customer to meet the following requirements:
Which single sign-on (SSO) design recommendation will meet these requirements?
An architect is finalizing the design for a new vSphere platform based on the following information:
How should the architect document the vCenter Server configuration for this design?
Following a recent acquisition, the architect learns that both companies use vSphere on-premise and will need to combine the data centers into one. The acquired company's licenses will not be renewed for cost-savings related to the acquisition. All consumed vSphere licenses must have active support to support line-of-business operations. The merged environment must maintain 25% spare capacity. The architect has a small budget remaining unallocated for hardware.
The architect has calculated that the current vSphere environment can absorb the acquired company's virtual machines but the cluster will run at 90% memory utilization and at 50% CPU utilization.
Which design decision can the architect make to incorporate the new company's virtual machines into the combined vSphere environment?
A customer has six hosts available in a cluster. When running at full capacity, all virtual machines can be run on two hosts.
How many hosts can the customer place into maintenance mode at the same time while still providing N+2 resiliency to the cluster?
An architect is designing a solution for an environment with two types of resource profiles that must be virtualized. The first type consists of Tier 1 virtual machines that are disk I/O intensive, but do NOT require high CPU or memory. The second type consists of Tier 2 virtual machines that require a lower CPU and memory allocation and have minimal disk I/O.
Which design recommendation should the architect make for distributing the resource profiles?
During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following requirement that is pertinent to the design of a new vSphere environment:
Which requirement classification is being gathered for the design documentation?
An architect is designing a VMware solution for a customer based on the following information:
Which two design decisions could the architect make to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
An architect is tasked with designing a new VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution for an online retail customer who has a primary and secondary data center as well as 10 distribution hubs.
The customer has provided the following business requirements to help inform the design:
Given the information from the customer, which assumption should the architect include in the design?
