You have decided to pursue a “scale-up” approach instead of a “scale-out” approach to storage.
What is the fundamental tradeoff that you have made?

Why is a quick risk assessment performed?

What is the benefit of storage technologies such as data deduplication and data compression?

A Linux-based application platform stack is downloaded from a community site. It is prepackaged
to run on a specific hypervisor. The administrator must import it into the VDC environment, and
then perform minimal configuration tasks. Once installed, the platform stack will solve a specific
business problem for the organization.

What is this an example of?

In which situation should you consider implementing hypervisor over-provisioning?

What is the primary GRC concern when using a service provider’s storage?

Which backup solution(s) should be your preferred choice(s) when you require consistent backups
for ease of recovery?

Which cloud deployment model would be appropriate if the primary concern is to address spikes in
application load?

A company has finished the design for their VDC. They realize that they should also include a few
design considerations to prepare them for cloud.
What is a key technical reason for the company to build a cloud-based service?

You are using virtual (thin) provisioning to reduce the amount of physical storage that is initially
required for an implementation.
On the storage array, you configure a pool that contains 20 TB of physical storage and then define
several LUNs that total 50 TB. These LUNs are presented to several hypervisor clusters. Virtual
Machines are subsequently created using a thick format for the virtual hard disks.
What is the maximum capacity that can be allocated for VM hard disks in this configuration?
