An architect is designing a new greenfield environment that will install ESXi on local disks. There is a requirement to streamline initial and future installations of ESXi hosts.
Which configuration option should the architect recommend for installing ESXi hosts to meet these requirements?
An architect is designing a vSphere environment for a customer and learns that the customer has:
A single vSphere cluster
Two storage arrays with different RAID capabilities
Which two design decisions should the architect make to maximize data availability and data performance for this customer? (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:
The solution must support the running of up to 1,000 concurrent virtual machines across the primary and secondary data center.
The solution must support the running of up to 20 concurrent virtual machines in each distribution hub.
The solution must support the separation of management and lines-of-business application virtual machines.
All management components (including directory services, backup, automation, operations and logging) must be deployed to the primary data center.
All virtual infrastructure components must have redundancy of N+1.
All sites are connected to each other using a wide area network that has multiple diversely routed links.
The solution should support a monthly uptime target of 99.9%.
The recovery time objective (RTO) for the solution must be four hours.
The recovery point objective (RPO) for the solution must be 24 hours.
Given the information from the customer, which assumption should the architect include in the design?
An architect is tasked with planning the design of a new vSphere environment. When commissioned, this environment will be used to migrate an existing set of virtual machines.
An inventory of the existing infrastructure, including configured vCPU, RAM and storage sizes has been provided.
In order for each virtual machine to be migrated, which two data sources with peak and average utilization data are required for sizing? (Choose two.)
An architect is tasked with designing a greenfield VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution that will be used to deliver a private cloud service for a customer.
During the initial meeting with the service owner and business sponsor, the customer has provided the following information to help inform the design:
The solution must support the concurrent running of 1,000 virtual machines The production environment must be delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers All virtual machines must be capable of running in either data center.
The two data centers are currently connected to each other through a single but diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency link.
The link between the two data centers is capable of supporting a round-trip time (RTT) of 150 ms The existing server hardware standard document states that all virtual infrastructure hosts must be deployed using vSAN ReadyNodes The service owner has stated that it is critical to ensure the availability target of 99.9% All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service The recovery time objective (RTO) for the service is five minutes The recovery point objective (RPO) of the service is four hours Which two elements represent risks to the successful delivery of this solution? (Choose two.)
