NO.36 A customer requests a review of its current vSphere platform design.
The following information is noted:
There are three different workload profiles for the virtual machines:
Tier-1 virtual machines operate resource-intensive applications and require dedicated allocations for CPU and RAM.
Tier-2 virtual machines operate internet-facing applications and require access to externally facing networks.
Tier-3 virtual machines operate platform management tools such as vCenter Server and have different lifecycle management requirements.
Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 virtual machines are all hosted on a single large vSphere cluster.
The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has raised concerns that hosting externally facing applications alongside management tools does not meet internal compliance standards.
The Operations team has raised concerns about Tier-1 virtual machines negatively impacting the performance of vCenter Server.
The Operations lead has stated that management changes have consistently been rejected by application teams.
As a result of the review, which recommendation should the architect make regarding the design of this platform?

NO.37 An architect is designing an environment for a retail customer. The design will use a single small vCenter Server Appliance and a cluster of eight ESXi hosts at a remote site.

All management components (including directory services, backup, automation, operations and logging) must be deployed to the primary data center.
All virtual infrastructure components must have redundancy of N+1.
All sites are connected to each other using a wide area network that has multiple diversely routed links.
The solution should support a monthly uptime target of 99.9%.
The recovery time objective (RTO) for the solution must be four hours.
The recovery point objective (RPO) for the solution must be 24 hours.
Given the information from the customer, which assumption should the architect include in the design?
