If you're using iSCSI in a cloud environment, what must come from an external protocol or application?

  1. Kerberos support
  2. CHAP support

Which of the following pertains to a macro level approach to data center design rather than the traditional tiered approach to data centers?

  1. IDCA
  2. NFPA
  3. BICSI
  4. Uptime Institute

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The standards put out by the International Data Center Authority (IDCA) have established the Infinity Paradigm, which is intended to be a comprehensive data center design and operations framework. The Infinity Paradigm shifts away from many models that rely on tiered architecture for data centers, where each successive tier increases redundancy. Instead, it emphasizes data centers being approached at a macro level, without a specific and isolated focus on certain aspects to achieve tier status.

Why does a Type 1 hypervisor typically offer tighter security controls than a Type 2 hypervisor?

  1. A Type 1 hypervisor also controls patching of its hosted virtual machines ensure they are always secure.
  2. A Type 1 hypervisor is tied directly to the bare metal and only runs with code necessary to perform its specific mission.
  3. A Type 1 hypervisor performs hardware-level encryption for tighter security and efficiency.
  4. A Type 1 hypervisor only hosts virtual machines with the same operating systems as the hypervisor.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Type 1 hypervisors run directly on top of the bare metal and only contain the code and functions required to perform their purpose. They do not rely on any other systems or contain extra features to secure.
