A customer requires the use of data encryption to ensure data is not accessible when a drive is removed from the primary storage platform. However, there is also a requirement to use deduplication and compression against all workloads in order to conserve space.

Which solution meets the customer requirements?

A VMware Service Provider is tasked with delivering a solution for continuous availability for a subset of Tier 1 virtual machines (VMs) and vApps running in their vSAN environment. The VMs make up a mission-critical application and there can be no data loss in the event of an outage at their primary data center. In the event of a regional outage, they have established a 10-minute recovery point objective (RPO). Failover/failback to the third site must be automated.

They have the following in place:

• Two local data centers (primary and secondary) connected with 100 Gb dedicated fiber

• uk.co.certification.simulator.questionpool.PList@195eb6c0

A third data center located on another power grid

• 70ms latency between the primary and secondary data centers

• Matching storage arrays at all locations

Which two solutions could be used to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)

A customer defines a requirement to minimize the vMotion migration time during a maintenance period. The servers being used are equipped with eight 1 GbE network adapters.

Per the defined logical network configuration, there are two network adapters each used for:

• Management traffic
• vMotion traffic
• iSCSI traffic
• Virtual machine traffic

Which design decision should the architect make to meet the customer requirement?

Following a recent acquisition, the architect learns that both companies use vSphere on-premise and will need to combine the data centers into one. The acquired company's licenses will not be renewed for cost-savings related to the acquisition. All consumed vSphere licenses must have active support to support line-of-business operations. The merged environment must maintain 25% spare capacity. The architect has a small budget remaining unallocated for hardware.

The architect has calculated that the current vSphere environment can absorb the acquired company's virtual machines but the cluster will run at 90% memory utilization and at 50% CPU utilization.

Which design decision can the architect make to incorporate the new company's virtual machines into the combined vSphere environment?

An architect is considering placement of virtual machines within an existing VMware software-defined data center (SDDC).

During the discovery phase, the following information is documented:

Cluster One

• Six ESXi hosts
• vSphere HA with host failures cluster tolerates = 1
• Proactive HA is enabled and set to automated
• Fully Automated vSphere DRS
• Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is enabled

Cluster Two

• Eight ESXi hosts
• vSphere HA with host failures cluster tolerates = 1
• Proactive HA is disabled
• Partially Automated vSphere DRS
• Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is disabled

Cluster Three

• Three ESXi hosts
• vSphere HA with admission control is disabled
• Proactive HA is not supported
• Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is disabled

Virtual Machine Resource Profile 1

• Memory sharing techniques should not be used
• Virtual machines should be automatically restarted in the event of host failure if resources are available
• Automated initial virtual machine placement

Virtual Machine Resource Profile 2

• Memory sharing techniques should not be used
• Virtual machines should be automatically restarted in the event of host failure regardless of available resources
• Automated initial virtual machine placement

Which two recommendations should the architect make for placement of the virtual machines to meet resource profile requirements? (Choose two.)

During a requirements gathering workshop to design a physical to virtual migration, the customer provides the following information:

• There is no physical firewall in the data center with no anticipated plans for a future network refresh.
• Leveraging the virtual infrastructure to mitigate the lack of network security must be addressed in the design.
• All physical servers to be migrated exist on the same VLAN.

Which recommendation should the architect make to address the customer requirement with regard to virtual networking?

An architect is designing a series of new vSphere environments for an organization. The environments will be deployed in their US-East and US-West region data centers. Each data center may have one or more dedicated vSphere environments. Only the vSphere environments within a data center will be configured with Enhanced Linked Mode. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has authorized the use of VMware vRealize Automation Cloud for automation. The build team creates standardized virtual machine images for various operating systems in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) and publishes the latest version on an as-needed basis to an internal HTTPS-accessible repository.

The architect must design a content library topology that meets the following requirements:

• A localized content library must be available in each data center.
• Each content library must be updated when an image is updated and released by the build team.
• The cloud automation platform must be able to consume the latest approved content library images.
• It must leverage the existing build team processes.

What should the architect recommend to meet the requirements?

An architect is designing a solution based on the following information:

• Each ESXi host has a single physical NIC with two 10 Gbps ports.
• There is a performance-based service-level agreement (SLA) that guarantees 15 Gbps bandwidth for production virtual machines at all times.
• There is no budget to purchase additional hardware.
• The hardware replacement SLA is based on a delivery agreement of two business days.

Which recommendation for the configuration of vSphere High Availability (HA) should the architect include in the design?

An architect is designing a vSphere environment for a customer based on the following information:

• The vSphere cluster will have three hosts only due to budget considerations.
• A database cluster (node majority) consisting of three virtual machines will be running on the vSphere cluster.

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?
