You are planning to deploy a virtualized application in a high-availability configuration with
automated VM restart on a hypervisor cluster. Your sizing estimates show that peak workload
conditions will saturate the processing power of four hypervisor servers.
To meet the SLA, N+2 redundancy is required on the hypervisor servers, with server utilization not
to exceed 80% under any conditions.
What is the minimum number of nodes that you should configure in the hypervisor cluster?

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?

Which is a poor candidate for migration to a VDC?

Which technology provides load balancing and fault tolerance for Fibre Channel over Ethernet
traffic?

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

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?
