The line of business (LOB) Services Product Manager has asked you to implement a solution that monitors the actual resource utilization of your company's private cloud infrastructure.
This solution should gather actual statistics of utilization and relate them back to the actual infrastructure costs to show the realized cost to run the vApp within the company's private cloud.
Which software solution would best fit the requirements of the LOB Services Product Manager?
A hosting company operates from two data centers and typically hosts very large customers. The delivery and support of their IT infrastructure is not service driven. Customers suffer significant lead times to establish new operational environments, or to change existing infrastructure requirements.
A new, highly secure application development environment has been requested by one of the hosting company's customers. The customer has a tight time frame and needs to be able to create a test environment on-demand, within hours. The hosting company has decided to transition to ITaaS to meet the needs of this (and future) clients.
What must be done to achieve this?
An enterprise decided to place some sensitive data in the public cloud and implemented security mechanisms to protect this data.
Recently the public cloud provider's systems had a security breach. The enterprise was not concerned because they felt their data had been completely protected. All of the services housing the data are protected by an IPS application and no alerts were generated by the system.
How did the enterprise protect its data?
Refer to Scenario 5.
An innovative high-end graphics and multimedia firm with a substantially virtualized IT infrastructure wishes to consider cloud enablement next, as part of its logical progression to ITaaS.
As a first step, the firm plans to transition one relatively low-risk service -- daily backup -- to a public CSP. The existing backup strategy involves array-based cloning, followed by backup of the clones with dedicated servers. The system is functional; however, since the backup target device is due for a technology refresh, the firm is open to alternatives.
In evaluating alternatives, the key consideration is the ability to meet backup windows for daily incremental backups during the work week.
As advisor to this firm, you have conducted a quick assessment of the candidate applications and storage involved in daily backups. Relevant details are presented in the exhibit.
Your first goal in this proof-of-concept is to demonstrate one quick and successful backup run to the CSP for two different customer applications.
Which two applications would you select if your desired outcome is backup completion within the shortest possible time?
In an effort to grow market share, a financial company has decided to expand their portfolio of web-based services to residential and mobile users. To improve adoption of these services, the software development team was given the requirement to encrypt data in flight without requiring a software footprint on the client.
Which capability best meets their in-flight encryption requirement?
