A customer with a virtualized environment has asked you to architect a new VNX storage solution
utilizing their many NFS datastores. They are also deploying a new Cisco Unified Computing
System as their compute base. However, they believe that virtualizing their critical servers may
cause network performance concerns because these servers have a very high transaction rate
with a CPU bound application.
How would you respond to your customer’s concerns?

A.
Deploy their environment as architected, and enable DirectPath I/O for their servers.

B.
Deploy their environment as architected, with CNA configured for Jumbo frame support, end-toend.

C.
Their environment will not be compromised by virtualization; it can be deployed as architected.

D.
Their environment will not be compromised by virtualization, but it requires pNFS on the ESXi
and VNX systems.
