You are designing a VDC that uses converged networking to support both LAN and SAN traffic.
FCoE is used exclusively for storage access. The access and aggregation layer switches that
have been chosen support both 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet and Data Center Bridging.
You have determined that the traffic between the access layer and aggregation layer switches is:
– Average SAN (FCoE) 60 Gb/s
– Average LAN (Ethernet) 100 Gb/s
– Burst SAN (FCoE) 80 Gb/s
– Burst LAN (Ethernet) 130 Gb/s
Performance cannot be degraded due to a failure of a single switch.
Which port configuration would support the average and burst traffic between the access and
aggregation layer switches?

What are the three general components of a Vblock?

Which is a valid method for modifying an application environment to support more clients and
increased data throughput?

Which EMC product provides seamless data mobility and enables management of the storage
resources of multiple heterogeneous arrays from a single interface?

A company requires their application, which is running on a virtual server, to be continuously
available. They would like to provide automatic failover and non-disruptive failure recovery.
Which service should they configure?

In addition to encryption, which techniques represent risk mitigation?

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?

An application processes test results from a manufacturing facility, then generates and archives
quality reports. The application runs on an old, but still supported UNIX system. It was developed
by an organization’s IT department 10 years ago.
While it has not been changed in over five years, the application source code and skills needed to
modify it are still available internally.
What is this an example of?

In addition to hypervisor hardening, what are the components of a Tier 3 trust tier?

A company is considering converting their VDC to IaaS. They realize to do this they will also have
to implement several new technologies and create several new functions: service operations and
service management. Previously the organization thought they were service oriented because
they had a service desk in IT to provide support.
Which key area(s) of investment is required for successful transition to IaaS?
