The Chief Operating Officer (COO) at an organization raises concerns that their virtual infrastructure environment is vulnerable. Recently, a security-related issue with a virtual machine caused all management services to become unavailable. No budget is available in the short term for additional platform investment. An architect is asked to review the current environment and make recommendations to mitigate concerns.

A virtualization administrator has provided the following details:

There is a single four node cluster of ESXi servers

There are two, Layer 2, physical network switches connecting resources

The data center network is presented as a single /16 subnet

Given the information provided, which functional requirement should the architect include in the design to mitigate the COOs concerns?

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?

What is a benefit of using a scale-out method for handling vSphere cluster growth?

An architect is tasked with recommending a solution for a company that is running out of VLANs. Currently the company is running two separate data centers based on vSphere including an Enterprise Plus license. In the first data center, the problem was solved by using VMware NSX and overlay network. In the second data center, there is currently no VMware NSX implementation in place and no budget for additional licenses.

What should the architect recommend as a potential solution to provide support for additional VLANs?

A new vSphere platform is being created. The platform will host virtual machines that will run management services and line-of-business applications.

What should the architect consider when designing the number and type of clusters required?

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following requirement that is pertinent to the design of a new vSphere environment:

The Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD) for all Tier 1 applications is one hour.

Which requirement classification is being gathered for the design documentation?

There is a request for approved virtual machine applications through a new vSphere platform's integrated automation portal. The platform was built following all provided company security guidelines and has been assessed against Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) regulations.

The platform has the following characteristics:

vRealize Operations is being used to monitor all clusters.

There is a dedicated ESXi cluster, supporting all management services.

All network traffic is via distributed virtual switches (DVS).

There is a dedicated ESXi cluster for all line-of-business applications.

Network traffic is serviced by NSX-T.

There is a dedicated ESXi cluster for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).

Network traffic is serviced by NSX-T.

The application owner is requesting approval to install a new service that must be protected as per the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.

Which additional non-functional requirement should the architect include in the design to support the new service?
