An architect is preparing a design for a company planning digital transformation. During the requirements
gathering workshop, the following requirements (REQ) and constraints (CON) are identified:
REQ01 The platform must host different types of workloads including applications that must be compliant
with internal security standard.
REQ02 The infrastructure must initially run 100 virtual machines.
REQ03 Ten of the virtual machines must be compliant with internal security standard.
REQ04 The internal security standard specifies logical network separation for in-scope applications.
CON01 The customer has already purchased the licenses as part of another project.
CON02 The customer has five physical servers that must be reused.
Additionally, based on resource requirements, four physical servers will be enough to run all workloads.
Which recommendation should the architect make to meet requirements while minimizing project costs?
A. Use Network I/O Control to ensure the internal security zone has higher share value
B. Purchase additional servers and plan separate, isolated clusters for workloads that must be compliant with internal security
C. Use a single cluster and ensure that different security zones are separated at least with dedicated VLANs and firewall
D. Use a single cluster and configure DRS anti-affinity rules to ensure internal security compliant virtual machines cannot migrate between ESXi hosts.

Each host can schedule 36 vCPUs and has 512 GB RAM.
Management overhead is 20%.
What is the minimum number of hosts required to meet the design requirements?

An architect is designing a solution for an environment with two types of resource profiles that must be virtualized. The first type consists of Tier 1 virtual machines that are disk I/O intensive, but do NOT require high CPU or memory. The second type consists of Tier 2 virtual machines that require a lower CPU and memory allocation and have minimal disk I/O.
Which design recommendation should the architect make for distributing the resource profiles?
A. Separate the two resource profiles into two clusters. The Tier 1 cluster will have fast storage while the Tier 2 cluster will not.
B. Run both resource profiles on the same cluster with the same host hardware platform.
C. Separate the two resource profiles into two clusters. The Tier 2 cluster will have faster CPU and more memory while the Tier 1 cluster will have slower CPU and less memory but more disk space.
D. Run both resource profiles on the same cluster with host hardware that has fast CPU, large amounts of memory, and the fastest storage platform.
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.
The service owner has said that is important to ensure that neither the availability target of 99.5% nor the
resource capacity is affected when the operations team completes maintenance activities, such as the
monthly software patching and ad-hoc hardware break/fix.
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.
Given the information from the customer, which two would be classified as assumptions within the design? (Choose two.)
A. The backup service will store data in a secure facility
B. The backup service has sufficient capacity for the new requirements
C. The customer will update their hardware standard to support rack mount servers
D. All virtual machines will be deployed with the same resource profile for production and development
E. The clusters will have a minimum redundancy of N+1
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?
A. 15 minutes
B. 60 minutes
C. 105 minutes
D. 90 minutes
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.

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?
A. The vSphere hosting platform and all PCI application virtual machines must be assessed against Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard compliance.
B. The vSphere hosting platform and all PCI application virtual machines must be assessed for SOX compliance.
C. The vSphere hosting platform and all PCI application virtual machine network traffic must be routed via NSX-T.
