The sales organization within a large enterprise has determined the need to immediately implement a mobile sales tool for its field staff. There are two SaaS solutions available that meet their requirements.
The CIO wants to develop the solution in-house and claims that IT can develop the application at only slightly more cost than the SaaS solutions, and it would be more secure. Estimated time to deliver the application from internal IT is 10 weeks.
Who should make the decision to determine the best solution?

• A. Architecture Committee
• B. IT governance bodies
• C. Board of Directors
• D. IT Strategy Committee

Refer to Scenario 4.
A construction firm with a substantially virtualized IT infrastructure wishes to consider cloud
enablement next, as part of its logical progression to ITaaS.
As a first step, the firm plans to transition one relatively low-risk service -- daily backup -- to a public CSP. The existing backup strategy involves array-based cloning, followed by backup of the clones with dedicated servers. The system is functional; however, since the backup target device is due for a technology refresh, the firm is open to alternatives.
In evaluating alternatives, the key consideration is the ability to meet backup windows for daily incremental backups during the work week.
As advisor to this firm, you have conducted a quick assessment of the candidate applications and storage involved in daily backups. Relevant details are presented in the exhibit.
Another evaluation point is the completion time for weekly full backups to the cloud service provider. Which would have the most favorable impact on full backup speed?

• A. Low growth rate for volumes
• B. Low IOPS per GB for volumes
• C. Source-based deduplication
• D. Target-based deduplication

Refer to Scenario 5.

An innovative high-end graphics and multimedia firm with a substantially virtualized IT infrastructure wishes to consider cloud enablement next, as part of its logical progression to ITaaS.
As a first step, the firm plans to transition one relatively low-risk service -- daily backup -- to a public CSP. The existing backup strategy involves array-based cloning, followed by backup of the clones with dedicated servers. The system is functional; however, since the backup target device is due for a technology refresh, the firm is open to alternatives.
In evaluating alternatives, the key consideration is the ability to meet backup windows for daily incremental backups during the work week.
As advisor to this firm, you have conducted a quick assessment of the candidate applications and storage involved in daily backups. Relevant details are presented in the exhibit.
Your first goal in this proof-of-concept is to demonstrate one quick and successful backup run to the CSP for two different customer applications.
Which two applications would you select if your desired outcome is backup completion within the shortest possible time?

• A. Email and Legal
• B. HR and Library
• C. Email and Library
• D. Library and Legal

Refer to Scenario 3.
A US company has deployed web services within a private cloud. They wish to provide additional web services elastically and distribute them around the globe using a public cloud provider.
The web services have a dependency on a database resource in the private cloud. The web services are deployed through a service catalog as a standardized service offering, which includes an intrusion prevention system that periodically polls a central management server for security updates. The IPS management server is located within the private cloud.
The web services collect highly regulated personal health information about consumers who are located around the world.
What would be the best solution for protecting the personal health information collected in the web service?

• A. Store the data on each web server in an encrypted format. Audit for different compliance rules depending on geographical location of the web service.
• B. Store the data on each web server in an encrypted format. Ensure HIPAA compliance across all geographical locations.
• C. Locate the database in the private cloud. Ensure that the database server complies with FERPA regulations.
• D. Transmit and store the data in an encrypted format. Locate the database in the private cloud. Ensure that the database server complies with HIPAA regulations.

What is a key design consideration for a service provider to ensure that they can effectively process the termination of a service instance?

• A. Automate the de-provisioning process to release resources
• B. Archive the associated service data regardless of the user requirements
• C. Incorporate a service grace period to prevent the actual deletion of the instance
• D. Incorporate a retention period for private user data and user PCI data
