· Average VM CPU wait time: 11 %
· CVM CPU utilization: 75%

Which action should be taken to improve VDI performance?

  1. Increase the amount of SSD storage in the cluster
  2. Ad memory to the nodes in the cluster
  3. Increase the number of vCPU cores allocated to the CVM
  4. Add CPU resources to the cluster

An SE is conducting a first call presentation with their Account Executive and a prospect. The prospect needs to build a private cloud but has been unable to implement the solution in-house, since using their traditional architecture would require integrating server, storage and networking solutions from six different vendors.

The cost and complexity of that approach is too high. Also their current infrastructure is not built for scalability or performance.

The prospect has considered upgrading their traditional server and SAN storage platforms but could not meet requirements for scale and performance using this approach.

In what order should the SE present the critical product and technology portions of the First Customer Presentation to the IT Director?

  1. Native convergence of traditional infrastructure.
    Scalable distributed system.
    Data locality and distributed data.
    Application automation with Calm.
    Xi Cloud Services.
  2. Application automation with Calm.
    Xi Cloud Services.
    Native convergence of traditional infrastructure.
    Scalable distributed system.
    Data locality and distributed data.
  3. Xi Cloud Services.
    Application automation with Calm.
    Native convergence of traditional infrastructure.
    Scalable distributed system.
    Data locality and distributed data.
  4. Data locality and distributed data.
    Scalable distributed system.
    Native convergence of traditional infrastructure.
    Xi Cloud Services.
    Application automation with Calm.
