An architect is helping an organization with the Physical Design of an NSX-T Data Center solution.
This information was gathered during a workshop:
✑ Any proposed solution must provide low latency.
✑ Any proposed solution must provide high throughput.
✑ Customer is running stock trading applications.
Which two selections should the architect recommend to meet high-performance workload requirements? (Choose two.)
To meet high-performance workload requirements for low latency and high throughput, leveraging ESXi as the compute host is appropriate. ESXi is known for its robust performance capabilities, making it suitable for environments running demanding applications like stock trading systems. Additionally, enabling enhanced data path mode on the N-VDS is crucial because this mode significantly improves data processing speeds and reduces latency, which is vital for high-performance workloads.
A & D are correct. N-VDS and VDS support the following modes: Standard: Provide forwarding capabilities on both KVM and ESX transport nodes and does not require a specialized hardware. Enhanced Datapath: Available for ESXi transport nodes only and provide Enhanced Network Stack (ENS) targeted for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) applications that require a faster performance data path. Take from NSX-T ICM 3.0 Lecture Manual
AD is correct. The enhanced data path is available for EXSi only.
you are right! A/D
Correct answers are undoubtedly B,D
The compute host is the environment in which the VM runs, so it seems pointless to mention it.
BD is correct
BD is correct
AD is correct
A & D are correct.
Using ESXi isn't a selection whereas LACP and Enhanced Datapath are configuration selection. Since Enhanced Datapath can only be used with ESXi, it is assumed if you select D, you are running ESXi already.
Correction A & D https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.2/installation/GUID-F459E3E4-F5F2-4032-A723-07D4051EFF8D.html
BD. ESXi might not provide better throughput comparing to KVM. But LAG/LACP would.
I took it back...AD...
B seems better compared to A ..
Enhanced Datapath is correct and requires ESXi -> AD
A. Leverage ESXi as the compute host. ESXi is a VMware hypervisor known for its performance capabilities and is often chosen for low-latency, high-throughput applications. D. Enable enhanced data path mode on the N-VDS. Enhanced data path mode is designed to improve performance and reduce latency, making it suitable for high-performance workloads.
Per AI: Considering the nature of stock trading applications, where low latency is crucial, the architect might prioritize options B and D to address the high-throughput and low-latency requirements. The choice between ESXi and KVM (Options A and C) would depend on other organizational factors and preferences. Option E could also be considered if further optimization for latency sensitivity is needed.
B & D are correct
