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 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:
- uk.co.certification.simulator.questionpool.PList@195e8a10
- 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?
An organization's existing vSphere environments are configured for Enhanced Linked Mode. The DevOps team automates the creation of hardened virtual machine images for various operating systems. Their continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline runs a task at the end of a successful build, which uploads the Open Virtualization Format (OV) image to a sandbox content library, deploys a virtual machine from the image, and then destroys these objects after quality checks are complete.
The following requirements have been noted:
- All content libraries and images must be centrally created and managed.
- All images must be capable of being updated.
- All images must be refreshed and available to subscribed libraries within 24 hours.
- All images must provide details of the image contents and versions.
- All images must be capable of being reverted to a previous version.
- All images must be capable of having the hardware and guest operating system customized during deployment.
Which three recommendations should the architect make to design a content library solution that will meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

An architect is designing the expansion of an existing vSphere 7 environment. The customer is requesting a design for a new cluster to support the anticipated future business growth. The requirements specified for the existing environment design must be considered when designing the new cluster.
The existing design has the following requirements:
- REQ01 The environment has an availability target of 99.5% for all infrastructure.
- REQ02 The recovery time objective (RTO) for Tier 1 virtual machines is one hour.
- REQ03 Windows and Linux virtual machines must reside on separate clusters.
- REQ04 Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled.
Which of the listed requirements would be classified as a functional requirement?
A customer has a database cluster with 40/60 read/write ratio and a high IOPs requirement with no contention on an all-flash vSAN cluster.
Which two storage settings should be configured for best performance? (Choose two.)
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.
Which two recommendations can the architect make so that the customer achieves the highest level of
application availability while taking into consideration operational resiliency? (Choose two.)
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?

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.
