,A VP of Applications at a prospective customer is working to transform IT from a cost, center to
a business enabler. In order to address this initiative, the VP has identified the following areas
for improvement: Increased time and expenses related to meeting business deliverables Missed
market opportunity due to slow IT response time Shadow IT increases risk of security breaches
and brand damage Unplanned spend on public cloud services (AWS) what two key benefits
should the SE review to address the customer's challenges? (Choose two) - correct answer ✔✔-
Provide developers with a native and integrated Self Service Portal that can scale on demand.

A customer has a requirement to run a single instance Oracle Database VM on AHV that is
driving over 250,000 IOPs. Which AOS feature should be positioned to deliver the highest level
of performance? - correct answer ✔✔Volume Group Load Balancer
A prospect has 8500GB of capacity provisioned for a non-production VMware cluster. As Part of
migrating to Nutanix. the prospect agrees to convert any thick provisioned disks to thin
provisioned disks. Based on additional dat
a. the total active working set for the cluster has been datermined to be 1TB. When entering the
Raw input workload into Sizer, what is the minimum amount of HDD Capacity required for the
workload? ?? - correct answer ✔✔3.0TiB
A prospective customer is concerned about having a single-pane-of-glass manage their
infrastructure because it also provides a single-point-of-failure. How does the Nutanix Prism
architecture address this concern? - correct answer ✔✔Prism runs on every CVM
A systems engineer is creating a workload for a Sizer Scenario that requires Disaster Recovery
(DR) resources with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 6 hours. The 'Protect VMs and other
Entities' setting is set to Yes. Async is selected for the RPO. Which two other options must be
enabled to have Sizer create a DR cluster? (Choose two) - correct answer ✔✔Disaster Recovery
, Remote Snapshot
What are two key Nutanix value propositions? (Choose two) - correct answer ✔✔-One-Click
Infrastructure Management
-Lowest initial cost than a comparable competitive HCI or 3-tier solution
Which tool could be used to perform a sizing discovery in a general server virtualization
environment running both VMware ESXi and Nutanix AHV? - correct answer ✔✔Collector
A customer is evaluating Nutanix to replace their existing 200TB filer. The filer is used to store
archived images. To achieve maximum storage density. RF2 and Erasure Coding are proposed.
What is the minimum number of nodes required to support the maximum Erasure Coding stripe
size of 4/1 (data/parity)? - correct answer ✔✔4 Nodes
A customer intends to build out their VDI environment over a period of 18 months. They require
a consistent user experience as their numbers grow. what element of the Nutanix WebScale
architecture would a systems engineer discuss with them? - correct answer ✔✔Linear
performance with predictable scaling
Over what period of time does the Nutanix Collector provide performance data? - correct
answer ✔✔Previous 7 days
A customer asks for a quote for a hybrid cluster to run general purpose VMs and an ERP
application. The customer has a vSAN ReadyNode quote already and is looking for a comparable
Nutanix solution. They share the following bill of materials: 3 Hosts , 2x E5-2640v4 CPUs , 512GB
RAM , 1 x 480GB SSD , 2 x 8TB HDD , 2 x 1GB NIC What are two reasons to avoid sizing to match
a competitor's bill of materials ? (Choose two) - correct answer ✔✔-There is no visibility to the
actual customer requirement
-The assumptions made in the competitor's sizing cannot be determined.
