An architect is designing a solution for a customer to meet the following business objectives:
Pass compliance audits
Reuse compute hardware
Grow by 10% per year
Move to a subscription-based consumption model
Which business objective translates as a conceptual model constraint?
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:
Critical workloads have a WRT of 12 hours
Production workloads have a WRT of 24 hours
Development workloads have a WRT of 24 hours
All workloads have an RPO of 4 hours
Critical workloads have an RTO of 1 hour
Production workloads have an RTO of 12 hours
Development workloads have an RTO of 24 hours
The customer has also confirmed that 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.
What would the architect document as the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) for each type of workload in the design?
An architect is responsible for the lifecycle management design for a brownfield vSphere-based solution.
The following information has been provided during initial meetings around the new solution:
Existing heterogeneous server hardware will be used to provide the hosting platform.
The available hardware is:
- 10 servers that contain 2 x 20-Core Intel Xeon processors and 512 GB RAM from Vendor A
- 10 servers that contain 2 x 24-Core Intel Xeon processors and 768 GB RAM from Vendor A
- 20 servers that contain 2 x 16-Core AMD EPYC processors and 512 GB RAM from Vendor B
- 10 servers that contain 1 x 24-Core AMD EPYC processors and 256 GB RAM from Vendor B All of the hardware is currently listed on the VMware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).
All existing server hardware has 36 months vendor support remaining.
The requirements from the customer are:
REQ001 - The solution must support the hosting of 5,000 workloads spread across two physical sites.
REQ002 - The solution should minimize the number of clusters.
REQ003 - The solution must ensure that there is no impact to service when completing upgrades.
Given the resource requirements needed for the solution, the architect has calculated that all of the existing servers will be required to provide sufficient resources for the new environment. The Intel-based (Vendor A) servers will be deployed to the primary site and both the Intel-based and AMD-based servers (Vendor B) will be deployed to the secondary site.
Which assumption should the architect make to support the lifecycle management of vSphere 8?
An architect is designing a new vSphere solution. The solution will be used to host workloads that have multiple dependencies. The customer provides the following information regarding the workloads:
Workload 1: Self-Service Portal
Workload 2: Database
Workload 3: Identity Broker
Workload 4: Reporting Tool
Workload 5: Management Tool
Application A is formed of workloads 1 and 2 and has a dependency on workload 3 Application B is formed of workloads 2 and 4 and has a dependency on workload 3 Application C is formed of workload 5 and has a dependency on workload 4 How should the architect document the vSphere HA requirements to ensure that all of the applications can be recovered in the event of a host failure while observing the dependencies?
A company has a requirement that all production applications must have a maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) of one hour per month.
Which statement would be included in the conceptual design to support this requirement?
