Question: 18

What are three use cases for vSphere Fault Tolerance? (Choose three.)

A. Provide guaranteed up time for a RDM enabled virtual machine
B. Provide efficient scheduled reliability for a payroll virtual machine
C. Provide guaranteed reliability for a development virtual machine with scheduled snapshots
D. Provide guaranteed reliability for a legacy Windows NT virtual machine
E. Ensure up time for a Linux virtual machine without making any changes to the OS

Answer: B,D,E

Explanation:

vSphere fault tolerance provides efficient scheduled reliability for a payroll virtual machine. It can also provide reliability for legacy Windows NT virtual machine. Along with that, it can ensure up time for a linux virtual machine without making any changes to the OS itself.

Microsoft Azure beats Amazon and Google in Forrester Wave for Big Data Hadoop Cloud Solutions

In the latest report from Forrester Wave for large volumes of cloud Hadoop data solutions, has joined Microsoft Azure beat Google and Amazon Web Services. After evaluation of 37 criteria, Forrester acknowledged Microsoft Azure as a leader in Big Data Hadoop cloud solutions.

We are pleased to see Microsoft as evidenced in the large volumes of cloud Forrester Wave Data Hadoop, "said Matt Morgan, vice president of products and marketing alliance Hortonworks." The engineering teams Hortonworks and Microsoft worked hand in hand in the manufacture azure HDInsight the best platform for the deployment of the data platform. We hope to continue our strong partnership together to give our customers the best options for the Hadoop deployment on site in the cloud, or hybrid scenarios. " 

Microsoft specifically was called for a first cloud strategy is bearing fruit. Tiffany Wissner, Senior Director of Product Marketing, the platform of data that said the following in a recent post,
 

Our goal is to make a large processing and analysis easier and more accessible to bring large amounts of data data worldwide. We do this by following the intelligence Cortana, offering a solution for large volumes of data and analysis fully managed in the cloud. In Cortana Intelligence is the Azure data lake, including HDInsight a Hadoop managed service running Hortonworks Data Platform, Lake Details Analytics, a new integrated wireless Apache their big data jobs dynamically adapts the service, and Lake store data, a single repository data capture of any size, type and speed. We also provide images in Azure IaaS market deploying any distribution of Hadoop third (Hortonworks, Cloudera and MapR).

Microsoft Azure now lets you backup VMware instances

Microsoft launched an enhanced version of its Azure Site Recovery (ASR) targeted specifically for VMware customers version.

The concept allows virtual machines backup ASR Azure storage, update and run the VM on Azure as a disaster recovery option. Microsoft charges $ 54 per month, for example, VM stored in Azure, but do not pay the costs of computing or storage until the virtual machine is running, it would be logical because it is only a file up VM is rotated above.

However, \VMware exam dumps already offers a service recovery in the event of a similar disaster in its own cloud vCloud Air for its customers. Microsoft is betting that VMware can not match Microsoft to climb clouds or scope: after all, the ASR service is already offered in 18 geographic regions compared to the nine (plus two individual government sites) in the VMware is.

However, this may not be such a problem that VMware has a network of partners that use its products running clouds. This network of partners, according to research firm Gartner Vendor Rating end of 2015 to VMware, is a force, because the likes of CSC and CenturyLink "have a broader range of skills and offer additional services that are important for media companies market and buyers, as the security services and managed services. "

VMware hybrid cloud remains convinced that an all-VMware makes life easier for vAdmins. Microsoft, however, thinks differently and is now available for users of VMware, a single county wide service that harms not only the new Virtzilla but also affects other storage vendors and the DR software.
