Refer to the exhibit.
Your company is currently using a traditional SAN storage network. The server infrastructure is partially virtualized. There is a public cloud in place that is used to test development and application migration to cloud.
Business requirements:
– Consolidate the network, storage, and compute resources
– Simplify network management and storage provisioning
– Maintain application performance
– A disaster recovery plan to meet RTO / RPO targets
Other considerations:
– All data must be secured at rest and in-flight
– Include an app development platform
Refer to Case 6.
You are sizing the compute capacity in a hyper-converged infrastructure solution. Each node has 55 TB of storage capacity. You have calculated the total cloud storage requirement to be 700 TB.
What is the minimum number of nodes required?
- A . 8
- B . 9
- C . 15
- D . 18

- D . Configuration Management Server
An organization wants to deploy SaaS applications in their cloud. The SaaS applications will be using application HA to maintain up-time levels of 99.9%. If an instance of the application fails, a new instance will be deployed to replace it.
What should the cloud architect include in the design to support this up-time requirement?
- A . Additional hot stand-by hosts
- B . Sufficient host capacity and orchestration
- C . HA and replication licenses for hypervisors
- D . Quorum disks
What should be used when sizing memory for nodes of a HCI deployment?
