Question 11
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. There is a single 10 GbE connected network at the remote site to support all management services. It is not possible to create additional management networks at the remote site. Virtual machine backups at the site will be dependent on the vCenter Server being available.
Which design decision should the architect make to maximize availability for backups?

Question 12
Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as performance non-functional requirements? (Choose two.)
Question 13
Which element of a design includes physical server specifications, network configurations, and storage details?
Question 14
An architect is tasked with designing a greenfield VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution that will be used to deliver a private cloud service for a customer.
During the initial meeting with the service owner and business sponsor, the customer has provided the following information to help inform the design:
- The solution must initially support the concurrent running of 300 production and 600 development virtual machines.
- The production environment should be delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers.
The development environment must be vSphere-based but does not have to be deployed on-premises.
- The two data centers are connected to each other through multiple diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency links.
- The customer's server hardware standard document states that all virtual infrastructure hosts must be based on blade architecture only.
- The service owner has said that is important to ensure that neither the availability target of 99.5% nor the resource capacity is affected when the operations team completes maintenance activities, such as the monthly software patching and ad-hoc hardware break/fix.
- All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service.
- The recovery time objective (RTO) for the service is four hours.
- The recovery point objective (RPO) of the service is 24 hours.
Given the information from the customer, which two would be classified as assumptions within the design? (Choose two.)
