Q101. An architect is designing a new vSphere platform for a customer to meet the following requirements:
– The platform must be deployed into five physically separate sites.
– The sites are spread across multiple regions.
– Some sites require more than one vCenter Server.

Q103. An architect is designing a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements:
– The environment must support 5,000 virtual machines.
– The environment will be built initially using 350 hosts.
Which vCenter Server appliance deployment size should the architect specify for the design?

Q104. An architect makes the design decision to install ESXi on embedded and resilient 8 GB SD cards.
What is the impact of this design decision?

Q105. Which type of requirement focuses on the processing power and resources needed by the system?

Q106. Refer to the exhibit. During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer shares the following about their existing ESXi host virtual networking infrastructure:

The customer confirms that:
– Each ESXi host has approximately 200 virtual machines.
– They want to maximize the number of concurrent virtual machine migrations.
– When placing a host in maintenance mode, it takes a long time to evacuate the virtual machines.
Which two recommendations should the architect make in order to help the customer overcome their challenge- (Choose two.)

Q107. What do availability requirements for vCenter Server relate to?

Q108. What do workload design requirements focus on?

Q109. Which element of a design includes physical server specifications, network configurations, and storage details?

Q110. An architect is designing a new VMware software-designed data center (SDDC) using vSphere 7 to meet the following requirements:
– The SDDC must be deployed at two locations: primary and secondary.
– vSphere Replication must be used to replicate virtual machines between the two locations.
– Site Recovery Manager must be used to orchestrate disaster recovery (DR) activities.
– One single-sign on (SSO) domain must be used to authenticate access at both locations.
Which design decision should the architect make to meet these requirements?

Q111. An architect is tasked with reviewing the design of a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) for a software development company. The platform is used to developing applications and services. It is important that the customer be able to accurately benchmark performance of developed applications.
The platform has recently commissioned new hosts to update the development cluster.
The development cluster host configuration is:
– 4 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 16 cores
– 512 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets
– There is no resource contention
The benchmarking cluster host configuration is:
– 8 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 8 cores
– 256 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets
– There is no resource contention
The customer is developing an application that includes a database virtual machine. The application developer states that the database virtual machine performs as required only when allocated 8 vCPUs 256 GB RAM. The database virtual machine performance meets the required levels when run from the development cluster. Performance benchmarking for the database virtual machine yields highly variable results when run from the benchmarking cluster. The application cannot be released without reliable performance benchmarking data.
What is a possible reason for the difference in performance test results between the development and benchmarking clusters?

Q112. The storage team at an organization is planning to migrate from an older Fibre Channel storage environment to a new environment using IP-based storage.
Which two switch features or characteristics are appropriate for IP storage networks- (Choose two.)

Q113. 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?

Q114. An architect is designing a new backup solution for a vSphere platform that has been recently upgraded to vSphere 7.
The architect wants the backup solution to perform the following:
– Full virtual machine image backup and restore
– Incremental virtual machine image backup and restore
– File level backup and restore within both Windows and Linux virtual machines
– LAN-free backup.
Which functional requirement should the architect include in the design of the new backup solution?

Q115. 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?

Q116. Which of the following best describes the conceptual elements of a design?

Q117. What is the minimum number of ESXi hosts required to create a vSphere vSAN cluster?

Q118. Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as performance non-functional requirements? (Choose two.)

Q119. An architect is designing a VMware solution for a customer to meet the following requirements:
– The solution must use investments in existing storage array that supports both block and file storage.
– The solution must support the ability to migrate workloads between hosts within a cluster.
– The solution must support resource management priorities.
– The solution must support the ability to connect virtual machines directly to LUNs.
– The solution should use existing 32G fabric infrastructure. There is no budget for additional physical hardware.
Which design decision should the architect make to meet these requirements?
