A customer is working on a large virtualization project. They have asked you for assistance in
determining a server strategy and design for the new environment. You will be included in the
project from its inception through final implementation.
Which VMware technology should be used first to assess the current physical server
environment?

A customer is deploying a Microsoft Exchange 2003 environment and has requested assistance
with the associated disk design. They are deploying Exchange for 850 users with an average of 3
I/Os per user. They expect a 60% read and 40% write distribution.
The customer would like to know the number of disks required for both RAID 5 and RAID 1/0
CLARiiON configurations with 10k rpm drives.
How many disks are required for each configuration type?

How can you balance the load across multiple LUNs/RAID groups in a SQL Server environment?

Your customer wants to create point-in-time copies of several volumes with SQL Server files,
which are hosted on Windows Server and CLARiiON storage. They need to enable off-host LANfree backup of these copies for repurposing. They also need to maintain consistency across
database and log LUNs.

Which framework will provide the interface to meet these requirements?

While implementing a second SAN director in their environment, a customer moved several hosts
and one of their two storage arrays onto the new director. When a large batch cycle was run, the
customer experienced queuing on the directors when previously there was none. However, when
the batch process was rerun with all LUNs made available through the original director, no
problems were encountered.
What would you recommend to solve the performance problem?
