A. Pro with the Encryption SKU


B. Ultimate


C. Pro


D. Starter with the Encryption SKU





A.
  Pro with the Encryption SKU


B.
  Ultimate


Explanation:

Customer Requirement:

Data-at-Rest-Encryption for all data.

License Options:

Pro with the Encryption SKU: This option allows customers to add encryption capabilities to the Pro tier.

Ultimate: This tier includes built-in encryption features, providing comprehensive data security.

Explanation:

Pro with the Encryption SKU: Customers using the Pro tier can enhance their security by purchasing the additional Encryption SKU, which enables Data-at-Rest-Encryption.

Ultimate: This tier natively includes encryption, offering an all-in-one solution for customers requiring high levels of data security without additional SKUs.

Outcome:

Customers can choose either of these two licensing options to meet their Data-at-Rest-Encryption requirements, ensuring that all their data is securely encrypted.

E. SNMP Community Name





A.
  Switch Management IP Address


B.
  AHV Host IP address


E.
  SNMP Community Name


Explanation:

For network switch discovery in Prism, the following settings are required:

Switch Management IP Address: This is necessary to access and manage the network switch. AHV Host IP address: This helps in identifying the hosts connected to the network.

SNMP Community Name: This is used for SNMP protocol to monitor and manage the network devices.

During an initial discussion. a prospective customer indicates they are strongly considering vSAN for their HCI initiative. The prospect's workloads are mostly read-intensive and they have over 1PB of archival data. The prospect expects to save on costs using storage efficiencies that their existing platform does not support. Which two Nutanix differentiators should the systems engineer discuss? (Choose two.)


A. Compression on Hybrid Nodes


B. Volume Group Load Balancing


C. Data Locality


D. CVM Autopathing





A.
  Compression on Hybrid Nodes



C.
  Data Locality



Explanation:

When discussing Nutanix differentiators with a prospect considering vSAN for their HCI initiative, especially for read-intensive workloads with over 1PB of archival data, the following features should be highlighted:

Compression on Hybrid Nodes:

Nutanix provides efficient data compression on hybrid nodes, significantly reducing the storage footprint and saving costs. This is particularly beneficial for archival data, which can be highly compressible, thus maximizing storage efficiency and reducing the total cost of ownership. Data Locality:

Nutanix's data locality feature ensures that data is kept local to the node where the VM is running. This reduces latency and enhances performance, particularly for read-intensive workloads, by minimizing the need for data to travel across the network.

What is an important consideration when using RVTools output for sizing a solution?


A. Only powered on VMs are included in the data.


B. it only captures provisioned storage


C. No information on the physical hosts is collected


D. It is a point in time snapshot of the environment.





D.
  It is a point in time snapshot of the environment.


Explanation:

When using RVTools output for sizing a solution, it is crucial to understand that it represents a point in time snapshot of the environment. This snapshot captures the state of the VMs and hosts at a specific moment, which is important for making accurate assessments and planning based on the current environment's status.

Which two items are considered by Sizer when calculating the required cluster resources with only the Raw input workload type for a multi-VM workload? (Choose two)


A. The vCPU:pCore ratio applied for specific VMs


B. Large VM NUMA requirements


C. The required RAM for the CVM


D. The vCPU:pCore ratio applied to all VMs





A.
  The vCPU:pCore ratio applied for specific VMs


B.
  Large VM NUMA requirements


Explanation:

When calculating the required cluster resources with only the Raw input workload type for a multi-VM workload in Sizer, the following items are considered:

The vCPU ratio applied for specific VMs: This ratio helps determine the number of physical cores needed based on the virtual CPU requirements of the VMs.

Large VM NUMA requirements: Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) requirements ensure that large VMs are allocated memory and CPU resources in a way that optimizes performance and resource utilization .

With in RVtools output, which tab provides actual utilization information on thick provisioned disk?


A. vInfo


B. vPartition


C. vCenter


D. vDisk





D.
  vDisk


Explanation:

Within RVtools, the "vDisk" tab provides actual utilization information on thick provisioned disks. This tab displays detailed information about the virtual disks, including their size, provisioning type, and utilization metrics. Administrators can use this information to analyze disk usage and plan capacity accordingly.

A. Nutanix Calm


B. Nutanix Xi Frame


C. Nutanix Files


D. Nutanix Beam





C.
  Nutanix Files


Explanation:

To decrease costs and increase efficiency by eliminating NAS silos and adopting a cloud-like mindset, Nutanix Files is the appropriate product. Nutanix Files provides scalable, distributed file storage that integrates with the Nutanix ecosystem, offering efficient management and eliminating the need for separate NAS devices.

An SE is in the discovery phase with a new customer. The customer is frustrated with the lack of transparency into their environment with the current monitoring tools.
