NCSE (Core) REVISION STUDY QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS COMPLETE AND VERIFIED.
A systems engineer is building a solution for a financial institution that
requires FIPS 140-2 LEVEL 1 encryption for data at rest.
Which two items are required to deliver the lowest cost solution that meets
the encryption standard? (Choose two.)
A supported Key Management Server
Nutanix Software Encryption
Which two features are only included in AOS Ultimate Edition? (Choose
two.)
Disaster Recovery with Near Sync & Sync Replication
Data-at-Rest Encryption
A prospective customer has a requirement for Data-at-Rest-Encryption for
all their data
Which two license options are available to address this requirement?
Pro with Encryption SKU
Ultimate
In the event of a primary datacenter failure. a customer wants to power on
virtual machines in
a secondary datacenter with an RPO and RTO of no more than 15 minutes.
Upon further
discussions with the customer. the systems engineer (SE) finds that round
trip latency between
the 2 sites can reach up to 6ms Which Nutanix feature should the SE
recommend?
NearSync
,when reviewing Nutanix cluster upgrades. a customer engineer is
concerned that their VM
will be forced to repeatedly migrate between nodes. Which Nutanix
feature allows VMs to remain
on a host during an AOS upgrade?
CVM Autopathing
prospective customer wants to migrate database workloads to Nutanix.
They are currently
running these workloads on a 3-tier vSphere architecture made up of 5
hosts connected to a
hybrid SAN over 10G iSCSI. The hosts each have 256G RAM and 2
Broadwell 2.8Ghz 12 core
processors. The largest database VM is configured with 64G of memory.
Some databases are
fairly old and single threaded Current performance is deemed acceptable.
Which configuration
component is most important to maintain the customer experience on a
new Nutanix cluster and
minimize costs ?
Make sure the cluster uses similar speed processors regardless of generation
A prospective customer is concerned about the suitability and design of
using Nutanix for an
upcoming Avaya IP Office migration.
Which type of document should the systems engineer (SE) Provide?
Reference Architecture
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)
There is no visibility to customer's actual requirements
The assumptions made in the competitor's sizing cannot be determined.
Over what period of time does the Nutanix Collector provide performance
data?
Previous 7 days
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?
Linear performance with predictable scaling
**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)?
4 (or 6 nodes?)
Which tool could be used to perform a sizing discovery in a general server
virtualization
environment running both VMware ESXi and Nutanix AHV?
