  • a hybrid cloud
  • a private cloud*
  • a community cloud

Private clouds are used to provide services and applications to a specific organization and may be set up within the private network of the organization or managed by an outside organization.

12. How does virtualization help with disaster recovery within a data center?

  • improvement of business practices
  • supply of consistent air flow
  • support of live migration*
  • guarantee of power

Live migration allows moving of one virtual server to another virtual server that could be in a different location that is some distance from the original data center.

13. What is a difference between the functions of Cloud computing and virtualization?

  • Cloud computing separates the application from the hardware whereas virtualization separates the OS from the underlying hardware.*
  • Cloud computing requires hypervisor technology whereas virtualization is a fault tolerance technology.
  • Cloud computing utilizes data center technology whereas virtualization is not used in data centers.
  • Cloud computing provides services on web-based access whereas virtualization provides services on data access through virtualized Internet connections.

Cloud computing separates the application from the hardware. Virtualization separates the OS from the underlying hardware. Virtualization is a typical component within cloud computing. Virtualization is also widely used in data centers. Although the implementation of virtualization facilitates an easy server fault tolerance setup, it is not a fault tolerance technology by design. The Internet connection from a data center or service provider needs redundant physical WAN connections to ISPs.​​

14. Which two business and technical challenges does implementing virtualization within a data center help businesses to overcome? (Choose two.)

  • physical footprint*
  • server hardware needs
  • virus and spyware attacks
  • power and air conditioning*
  • operating system license requirements

Traditionally, one server was built within one machine with one operating system. This server required power, a cool environment, and a method of backup. Virtualized servers require more robust hardware than a standard machine because a computer or server that is in a virtual machine commonly shares hardware with one or more servers and operating systems. By placing multiple servers within the same physical case, space is saved. Virtualized systems still need the proper licenses for operating systems or applications or both and still need the proper security applications and settings applied.

  • The control plane on each device is interconnected to a dedicated high-speed network.
  • A hypervisor is installed in each device to allow multiple instances of the control plane.
  • The control plane function is consolidated into a centralized controller.*

In network virtualization design, the control plane function is removed from each network device and is performed by a centralized controller. The centralized controller communicates control plane functions to each network device and each device focuses on forwarding data.

21. Which technology virtualizes the network control plane and moves it to a centralized controller?

  • IaaS
  • SDN*
  • fog computing
  • cloud computing

Networking devices operate in two planes: the data plane and the control plane. The control plane maintains Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding mechanisms using the CPU. The data plane forwards traffic flows. SDN virtualizes the control plane and moves it to a centralized network controller.​

22. Which two layers of the OSI model are associated with SDN network control plane functions that make forwarding decisions? (Choose two.)

  • Layer 1
  • Layer 2*
  • Layer 3*
  • Layer 4
  • Layer 5

The SDN control plane uses the Layer 2 ARP table and the Layer 3 routing table to make decisions about forwarding traffic.

23. What pre-populates the FIB on Cisco devices that use CEF to process packets?

  • the adjacency table
  • the routing table*
  • the DSP
  • the ARP table

CEF uses the FIB and adjacency table to make fast forwarding decisions without control plane processing. The adjacency table is pre-populated by the ARP table and the FIB is pre-populated by the routing table.​

24. Which type of hypervisor would most likely be used in a data center?

  • Type 1*
  • Hadoop
  • Nexus
  • Type 2

The two type of hypervisors are Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 hypervisors are usually used on enterprise servers. Enterprise servers rather than virtualized PCs are more likely to be in a data center.

25. What component is considered the brains of the ACI architecture and translates application policies​?
