A load balancing/firewall application is purchased and downloaded from a vendor site. It is
prepackaged to run on a specific hypervisor. The administrator must import it into the VDC
environment then perform minimal configuration tasks. Once installed, this application will solve a
specific business problem for the organization.
What is this an example of?

Which represent key legal contracts for a service provider?

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

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?

As part of a VDC deployment, you are examining the existing storage configurations. On one
storage system, you discover over fifty storage pools. The pools contain a single type of drive
(SSD, SAS or NL SAS), but many of them contain only a few drives and share the same RAID
configuration. The Storage Administrator admits that they have been creating separate pools for
each application because they did not want the applications contending for the disks.
As part of the design, you propose to consolidate the existing pools into larger pools of mixed drive
types and RAID configurations.
What technology will you need to implement to utilize the new pool design?

A company has five heterogeneous storage arrays that are all connected to a common SAN
environment.
They want to offer storage to their end users, masking the identity of the target storage so the
users cannot tell which storage system they are using.
Which virtualization technique would work in this environment?

A VDC administrator needs to create a virtual distributed file system. Which file storage protocol
would best meet their requirement?
