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?

Refer to the exhibit.

You are designing the storage environment for a new VDC. The applications have been classified
into three groups, as shown in the exhibit. You have chosen to create a storage pool for each
application group.
How should you configure the storage for each pool to meet the performance and capacity
requirements, while minimizing costs?

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?

A company has implemented a Vblock solution in their primary data center. They are using a
single management toolset to configure and provision the compute, network, and storage
resources within the Vblock.
Which management tool are they using?
