NEW QUESTION 5
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?

NEW QUESTION 6
An architect is tasked with reviewing the design of a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) for a software development company. The platform is used to developing applications and services. It is important that the customer be able to accurately benchmark performance of developed applications.
The platform has recently commissioned new hosts to update the development cluster. The development cluster host configuration is:
4 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 16 cores
512 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets
There is no resource contention
The benchmarking cluster host configuration is:
8 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 8 cores
256 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets
There is no resource contention
The customer is developing an application that includes a database virtual machine. The application developer states that the database virtual machine performs as required only when allocated 8 vCPUs 256 GB RAM. The database virtual machine performance meets the required levels when run from the development cluster. Performance benchmarking for the database virtual machine yields highly variable results when run from the benchmarking cluster. The application cannot be released without reliable performance benchmarking data.

• A. The database tier breaches a single NUMA node boundary for the benchmarking cluster
• B. The database tier breaches a single NUMA node boundary for the development cluster
• C. The development cluster can support a lower %Ready time per vCPU
• D. The development cluster has more available RAM per host
