Q54. In a meeting to discuss the minimum viable product (MVP) deployment of a new customer-facing application, the key stakeholder shares details of the application components and the application administrators share details of performance and integrity tests for the application.
The application will be made up of the following components:
A web server
– Steps to confirm the web server is operating correctly will take 15 minutes after the application server is online.
An application server
– Steps to confirm application server integrity will take 15 minutes after the database is online.
A database server
– The database server will be managed by a database administrator, with an agreed service-level agreement (SLA) to restore and validate database services within one hour.
The existing VMware infrastructure offers a recovery point objective (RPO) of 5 minutes and recovery time objective (RTO) of 15 minutes through a combination of backups and replication.
In the event of an outage impacting all three application components, how long will it take for the application to recover and complete all checks?

Q55. A customer requests a review of its current vSphere platform design.
The following information is noted:
There are three different workload profiles for the virtual machines:
Tier-1 virtual machines operate resource-intensive applications and require dedicated allocations for CPU and RAM.
Tier-2 virtual machines operate internet-facing applications and require access to externally facing networks.
Tier-3 virtual machines operate platform management tools such as vCenter Server and have different lifecycle management requirements.
Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 virtual machines are all hosted on a single large vSphere cluster.
The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has raised concerns that hosting externally facing applications alongside management tools does not meet internal compliance standards.
The Operations team has raised concerns about Tier-1 virtual machines negatively impacting the performance of vCenter Server.
The Operations lead has stated that management changes have consistently been rejected by application teams.
As a result of the review, which recommendation should the architect make regarding the design of this platform?

Q56. A customer is deploying a new cluster and wants to be able to patch and update two hosts in parallel. The cluster must be able to maintain N+1 resiliency across the remaining hosts while patching activities are performed. The current expected utilization of the platform requires a minimum of two hosts to support all of the virtual machines.
What is the minimum number of hosts the customer will require in the cluster in order to meet the required resiliency level?

Q57. An architect is preparing a design for a customer. Based on requirements, the architect recommends an HCI- based infrastructure with all-flash architecture. During the assessment, it is confirmed that the network throughput generated by virtual machines does not exceed 150 Mb/s.

Q60. An organization’s data scientists are executing a plan to use machine learning (ML). They must have access to graphical processing unit (GPU) capabilities to execute their computational models when needed. The solutions architect needs to design a solution to ensure that GPUs can be shared by multiple virtual machines.
Which two solutions should the architect recommend to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Q61. 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?

Q62. Refer to the exhibit.
During a requirements gathering workshop, the architect shares the following diagram:

What should the architect recommend for guaranteed throughput for each service?

Q63. An architect is finalizing the design for a new vSphere platform based on the following information:
All Windows virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes.
All Linux virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes. All management virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster.
A total of ten physical sites will be used to host virtual machines.
In the event of one physical datacenter becoming unavailable, the manageability of the virtual infrastructure in the remaining data centers should not be impacted.
Access to configure the management virtual machines via vCenter Server must be controlled through the management Active Directory domain.
Access to configure the Windows and Linux virtual machines must be controlled through the resource Active Directory domain.
The management and resource Active Directory domains are part of separate Active Directory forests and do not have any trusts between them.
The design will use Active Directory with Integrated Windows Authentication.
How should the architect document the vCenter Server configuration for this design?

Q64. In a meeting to discuss the minimum viable product (MVP) deployment of a new customer-facing application, the key stakeholder shares details of the application components and the application administrators share details of performance and integrity tests for the application.
The application will be made up of the following components:
* A web server
– Steps to confirm the web server is operating correctly will take 15 minutes after the application server is online.
* An application server
– Steps to confirm application server integrity will take 15 minutes after the database is online.
* A database server
– The database server will be managed by a database administrator, with an agreed service-level agreement (SLA) to restore and validate database services within one hour.
The existing VMware infrastructure offers a recovery point objective (RPO) of 5 minutes and recovery time objective (RTO) of 15 minutes through a combination of backups and replication.

Q70. 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 initially support the concurrent running of 300 production and 600 development virtual machines.
The production environment should be delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers. The development environment must be vSphere-based but does not have to be deployed on-premises.
The two data centers are connected to each other through multiple diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency links.
The customer’s server hardware standard document states that all virtual infrastructure hosts must be based on blade architecture only.

All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service. The recovery time objective (RTO) for the service is four hours.
The recovery point objective (RPO) of the service is 24 hours.
