A public cloud service provider is facing several challenges in its IT operations:
1 – Rapidly increasing storage capacity needs, forcing frequent data migrations
2 – Consolidation of disparate Fibre Channel fabrics from multiple connectivity vendors
3 – Deployment of several types of hypervisors simultaneously in production
4 – Long-term archival of very large volumes of tenant data for compliance
5 – Very limited application mobility across data centers, using array-based replication
Which challenge(s) would VPLEX address?

An enterprise’s IT department is transitioning to ITaaS. The IT department is developing a service
management methodology. They are uncertain about how much of the measurement data should
be stored, and for how long. One consideration is the trade-off between storage cost and data
granularity.
What would you, the cloud architect, recommend as a best practice?

Which describes the process for instantiating an IaaS offering?

An enterprise wants to deploy a single sign-on solution to utilize within their private cloud
environment. Their developers are experienced with the REST protocol, and they have a large
number of interns that are employed May through August every year.
Their primary goal is to build a solution that utilizes the REST protocol. Their secondary goal is to
be able to bulk load credentials for the interns into the system each year.
They have asked you to review the offerings from two identity providers. The results of your
analysis are shown below:
Provider A supports OpenID and OAuth
Provider B supports OAuth and SCIM
Which provider would you recommend, and why?

Refer to Scenario 1.

What can the IT department do to address problem (a)?

Refer to Scenario 4.

Your second goal is to demonstrate that the CSP solution will suit even the most demanding
application relative to backup needs.
Which application would you select for this test?

Refer to Scenario 5.

Your second goal is to demonstrate that the CSP solution will be suitable for even the most time
consuming backups.
Which application would you select for this test?

Refer to Scenario 1.

What can the IT department do to resolve problems (b) and (d)?

Refer to Scenario 3.

What would be the best solution for protecting the personal health information collected in the web
service?

Refer to Scenario 7.

To test the functionality of the new infrastructure, a load simulator is used to increase utilization on
the servers. At 80% utilization, the orchestration tools provision the required resources in the
public cloud. However, the utilization on the private cloud resources continues to increase, while
the utilization on the public cloud resources remains at 0%.
What is the most likely cause of this problem?
