There is a request for approved virtual machine applications through a new vSphere platform’s integrated automation portal. The platform was built following all provided company security guidelines and has been assessed against Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) regulations.
The platform has the following characteristics:
vRealize Operations is being used to monitor all clusters.
There is a dedicated ESXi cluster, supporting all management services.
All network traffic is via distributed virtual switches (DVS). There is a dedicated ESXi cluster for all line-of-business applications.
Network traffic is serviced by NSX-T.
There is a dedicated ESXi cluster for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Network traffic is serviced by NSX-T.
The application owner is requesting approval to install a new service that must be protected as per the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.
Which additional non-functional requirement should the architect include in the design to support the new service?
Correct Answer:
A

In a meeting to discuss the minimum viable product (MVP) deployment of a new customer-facing application, the key stakeholder shares details of the application components and the application administrators share details of performance and integrity tests for the application.
The application will be made up of the following components:
A web server
-Steps to confirm the web server is operating correctly will take 15 minutes after the application server is online.
An application server
-Steps to confirm application server integrity will take 15 minutes after the database is online.
A database server
-The database server will be managed by a database administrator, with an agreed service-level agreement (SLA) to restore and validate database services within one hour.
The existing VMware infrastructure offers a recovery point objective (RPO) of 5 minutes and recovery time objective (RTO) of 15 minutes through a combination of backups and replication.
In the event of an outage impacting all three application components, how long will it take for the application to recover and complete all checks?
Correct Answer:
C
15 restore VMs + 60 restore and test DB + 15 test app server + 15 test web server
An architect is preparing a design for a company planning digital transformation. During the requirements gathering workshop, the following requirements (REQ) and constraints (CON) are identified:
REQ01 The platform must host different types of workloads including applications that must be compliant with internal security standard.
REQ02 The infrastructure must initially run 100 virtual machines.
REQ03 Ten of the virtual machines must be compliant with internal security standard.
CON01 The customer has already purchased the licenses as part of another project.
CON02 The customer has five physical servers that must be reused.
Additionally, based on resource requirements, four physical servers will be enough to run all workloads. Which recommendation should the architect make to meet requirements while minimizing project costs?
Correct Answer:
C
