A customer with a virtualized environment has asked you to architect a new VNX storage
solution utilizing their many NFS datastores. They are also deploying a new Cisco Unified
Computing System as their compute base. However, they believe that virtualizing their
critical servers may cause network performance concerns because these servers have a
very high transaction rate with a CPU bound application. How would you respond to your
customer’s concerns?

A.
Deploy their environment as architected, and enable DirectPath I/O for their servers.

B.
Deploy their environment as architected, with CNA configured for Jumbo frame support,
end-to-end.

C.
Their environment will not be compromised by virtualization; it can be deployed as
architected.

D.
Their environment will not be compromised by virtualization, but it requires pNFS on the
ESXi and VNX systems.
