You are meeting with the CIO to discuss your VDC design. They question the amount of capital that is being invested in iSCSI adapters. They state that, because of the number of adapters required, it is more cost-effective to purchase 10 Gigabit Ethernet NICs and use the integrated hypervisor software stack.

How should you justify the increased cost of the iSCSI Adapters?

A. Using NICs and the software stack will increase CPU load on each hypervisor, requiring more hypervisors to deliver the same performance levels. This will result in additional hardware and licensing costs.

B. iSCSI adapters can encrypt iSCSI frames, preventing unauthorized access to the data. The hypervisor software stack cannot encrypt iSCSI frames, leaving the data vulnerable.

C. Using NICs and the software stack will require additional NICs for each hypervisor to deliver the same throughput. To obtain the additional PCIe slots for the NICs, larger form- factor servers will be required, increasing hardware costs.

D. iSCSI adapters can use Jumbo Frames, providing improved performance for storage traffic. The hypervisor software stack cannot use Jumbo Frames, resulting in poorer performance.

Which method of storage virtualization provides the added benefit of wide striping?

A. Virtual LUN Migration

B. Virtual Provisioning

C. Server-based storage virtualization

D. Storage tiering

A company has implemented a VDI solution. A user logs in to their virtual desktop for the first time and customizes the environment before logging off for the day. When they return the next day, all of their customizations are gone.

Which type of virtual desktop has been implemented?

A. Remote

B. Thin

C. Stateless

D. Stateful

Which is an example of a hypervisor that performs binary translation of sensitive non- virtualized instruction requests, but allows for direct execution of user requests?

A. Microsoft Hyper-V

B. VMware Fusion

C. Citrix XenServer

D. VMware Workstation

A company has invested in virtualization for all of their non-mission critical applications and many of their mission critical applications. The now want to convert their virtualized silos that are still owned by each line-of-business into a true VDC.

What is the primary ("#1") business driver for doing this?

A. Efficiency

B. Hyper-consolidation

C. CAPEX reduction

D. OPEX reduction

Your client is considering server-based storage virtualization. You explain that it is easy to deploy. What else should you tell them?

A. Disaster recovery tools are not available

B. Increased compute power and server utilization will be needed

C. Complex management tools will be needed

D. Devices to be virtualized must come from the same array

Which aspect of data security does TLS address?

A. Secure data transport to and from the application over the network

B. Secure block data transfer between the host and storage array

C. Encryption of data at rest on a storage device

D. Centralized key management for data encryption

An organization with 25,000 employees has moved to a new building that contains a fully virtualized data center with a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) instituted for all employees. However, each morning between 9:00 am to 9:30, the help desk receives a large number of calls concerning slow performance and timeout issues.

The IT department that the storage array's Fibre Channel drives is the bottleneck. They propose sold purchasing solid state disks (SSDs) to store the entire VDI environment. Unfortunately, their proposed is rejected because of the cost of the drives.

Which array feature should the organization implement to reduce the quality of SSD that are required to service the high I/O bursts of their VCs environment?

A. Thin Pools

B. Deduplication

C. Cache Tiering

D. Cache Partitioning

Why is the need for host-based agents a disadvantage in a block storage virtualization environment with on-of band virtualization appliance?

A. Capacity limitations

B. Management complexity

C. Performance concerns

D. Functional limitations

A company is planning the backup strategy to be used after migrating separate physical systems into a consolidated virtual machine environment. They are considering migrating their existing traditional backup model into this virtual environment.

Where do the backup data collection operations occur?

A. On the SAN switch

B. On a separate host

C. On the virtual machine

D. On the storage array
