How should you configure this environment to meet the requirements?
A VDC design requires 300 blade server chassis, each with two embedded Fibre Channel
switches, which are connected to two separate SAN fabrics. For ease of management, each fabric
can only be configured with a single VSAN.

What can be done to expand the access layer and not impact the performance of the existing environment?
You are expanding the compute layer of a VDC, and need to add more access layer switches to
provide connectivity to the hypervisors. However, there are no available ports on the two
aggregation layer switches to accommodate the uplink connections from the new access layer
switches, and there is no available funding to purchase additional aggregation layer switches. The
active uplinks are operating at 95% of capacity.

You are expanding the compute layer of a VDC, and need to add more access layer switches to
provide connectivity to the hypervisors. However, there are no available ports on the two
aggregation layer switches to accommodate the uplink connections from the new access layer
switches, and all uplinks are active and operating at 95% of capacity.
Your design must satisfy all of the following requirements:
– Expand the access layer
– Maintain the same configuration as the existing environment
– Maintain the performance of the existing environment
The CIO has authorized you to purchase additional aggregation layer switches if needed.

What is an important business outcome from this?
A company has invested in virtualization for all their non-mission critical applications and many
mission critical applications. The company now wants to convert their virtualized silos that are still
owned by each line-of business into a true VDC.

What is a key business reason for the company to build a cloud-based service?
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 this an example of?
An organization seeks to solve a business problem by licensing software from a supplier. The
supplier contract stipulates that the software will only be supported if it runs on server platforms
also provided by that supplier.

An application is used by nearly all the employees in an organization to place and track orders,
provide customer support, maintain and report on financials, and track product defects.
The application was written by the organization’s IT Department 10 years ago. The IT staff actively
maintains it and adds features on a regular basis.
