Nutanix Certified Systems Engineer Core NCSE-Core Exam Questions

A prospect provides sizing details for a new application that will require 15TiB of usable storage. The prospect needs to plan for an additional 20% storage growth as part of the initial purchase. Including capacity to fully re-protect in the event of a node failure, which configuration provides minimal cost while meeting the capacity requirement?

Refer to Exhibit.

A systems engineer is creating a configuration in Sizer for a customer that is building an app for use as an eBooks repository the app requires the following two workloads:

1. 50 generic web server VMs, each with 2 vCPUs on a 4:1 vCPU ratio, 8 GB of RAM, and 100GB of storage each

2. A fileserver workload with 80TB of usable storage available, which contains mostly PDF's and pre- compressed data.

Any reduction in performance of the web servers must be avoided. After entering the workload with default options, the Sizer outputs the configuration shown in the exhibit.

Which adjustment does the systems engineer need to make to the scenario to meet the performance requirements?
