Q53. 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?

Q54. An architect decides to separate virtual desktops and application servers into separate vSphere clusters to meet security and management requirements.
What are two implications of this design decision? (Choose two.)

Q55. An architect is designing a vSphere environment for a customer and learns that the customer has:
A single vSphere cluster
Two storage arrays with different RAID capabilities
Which two design decisions should the architect make to maximize data availability and data performance for this customer? (Choose two.)

Q56. Refer to the exhibit.
During a requirements gathering workshop, a customer shares the following diagram regarding their availability service-level agreements (SLAs):

The customer states that there is no application level availability for legacy applications.
Which recommendation could the architect make to meet the customer’s high availability requirements for the legacy applications virtual machines?

Q57. 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?

Q58. Which requirement would be classified as a functional requirement within the application design documentation?

Q59. During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer’s Chief Information Security Office (CISO) provides the following requirements that are pertinent to the design of a new vSphere environment:
* All operating system critical patches must be installed within 24 hours of release.
* All virtual machine templates must be updated every three months in line with company policy.
Which requirement classification is being gathered for the design documentation?

Q60. 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?

Q61. Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as performance non-functional requirements? (Choose two.)

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 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?

Q64. 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.)

Q65. An architect is designing a new VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) that will consist of 100 branch sites connected to a single VMware vCenter Server within the primary data center. To allow for the use of existing automation scripts, there is a requirement to replicate the names of the virtual distributed port groups across all sites. The procurement team purchases licensing and there is no further budget allocated.
Which design decision should the architect make to meet this requirement?

Q66. 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 support the concurrent running of 1,000 virtual machines The production environment must be delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers All virtual machines must be capable of running in either data center.
The two data centers are currently connected to each other through a single but diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency link.
The link between the two data centers is capable of supporting a round-trip time (RTT) of 150 ms The existing server hardware standard document states that all virtual infrastructure hosts must be deployed using vSAN ReadyNodes The service owner has stated that it is critical to ensure the availability target of 99.9% All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service The recovery time objective (RTO) for the service is five minutes The recovery point objective (RPO) of the service is four hours Which two elements represent risks to the successful delivery of this solution? (Choose two.)

Q67. An architect is designing a new vSphere cluster. The requirement is to provide a total of 96 CPU cores and 1.5 TB RAM across all hosts.
The following information has been provided:
Two different physical hardware profiles are available for the ESXi hosts in the cluster.
– Profile 1: 16 CPU cores and 256 GB RAM
– Profile 2: 32 CPU cores and 512 GB RAM
Profile 2 is twice as expensive to purchase as Profile 1.
Which two aspects should the architect consider when selecting the hardware profile? (Choose two.)

Q68. A customer has six hosts available in a cluster. When running at full capacity, all virtual machines can be run on two hosts.
How many hosts can the customer place into maintenance mode at the same time while still providing N+2 resiliency to the cluster?
