NCSE-Core Exam Dumps : Nutanix Certified Systems Engineer-Core (NCSE-Core 6.8)

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.

C. ABS (Acropolis Block Services):

Nutanix ABS (Acropolis Block Services) provides the ability to use Nutanix storage with external servers while leveraging the benefits of Nutanix’s distributed storage fabric.

This feature is particularly beneficial for Oracle environments where the organization has invested significantly in servers to save on licensing costs. ABS allows these existing servers to utilize Nutanix's all-flash storage without moving workloads entirely onto Nutanix nodes.

ABS can provide high performance and low latency storage which is critical for Oracle databases and helps address the customer's preference for all-flash arrays.

To run a VM on a single NUMA node, it is important to ensure that the entire CPU and memory requirements of the VM fit within the resources of a single NUMA node. Given the application’s requirements of 256GB RAM and 12 CPU cores at over 80% utilization, the configuration should consider high core count and high frequency to handle the high transaction load efficiently.

Using CPUs with 10 cores each at 3.4GHz, for a total of 20 cores, would provide sufficient resources to meet the VM's needs while ensuring optimal performance. This configuration strikes a balance between core count and CPU frequency, providing a robust solution for the business-critical application.
