NCSE-Level-1 Nutanix Certified Systems Engineer (NCSE): Level 1 Questions and Answers

A prospect is planning to refresh hundreds of remote locations. Each location has the following configuration:

• 2x HPE DL360 servers running vSphere, each using its own local storage

• 3-4 Windows VMs with no plans to expand

Scheduling the initial meeting to discuss the opportunity has been challenging as the prospect believes a Nutanix solution would be overpriced for their remote site needs.

What are two Nutanix capabilities the SE should highlight to address solution cost concerns? (Choose two.)

An existing customer is considering deploying a new Splunk project onto their Nutanix infrastructure. The customer inquires about potential storage capacity saving for their splunk workload.

Which two Nutanix capacity optimization features should the SE recommend? (Choose two)

An SE is using the output from RVTools to size the storage capacity for a Nutanix Cluster.

Which value most closely resembles the minimum required storage capacity that should be entered for the aggregate workload in sizer?

Refer to the exhibit.

Based on the sizing scenario, what level of resiliency can be inferred about the configuration?

A prospect indicates a requirement to replicate data offsite for a production workload.

Which three questions the SE ask about the prospect's requirement?

(Choose three.)

A customer needs to expand an existing cluster to accommodate workloads. The workloads require 5TB of storage capacity (1.2TB of working set data), 64GB of memory, and 10 physical CPU cores. Their current cluster is configured as follows:

• 4x NX-3060-G5 nodes

• Each node is configured with 2x E5-2620v4 processors (8 Cores each), 128GB RAM, 2x 960GB SSDs, and 4x 2TB HDDs

• The cluster is configured as RF2 and is sized for N+1 availability

• Each CVM is configured with 32GB of memory

To maintain optimal metadata balance and data availability, which configuration should be recommended?

Refer to the exhibit.

A prospect provides the data shown captured from their existing environment using RVTools. The prospect has additional historical CPU utilization data that indicates peak CPU utilization never exceeds 50% on either physical host.

Which vCPU:pCore ratio should be used in Sizer?

AN SE determines that a POC is necessary to overcome competitive FUD in an opportunity with an Enterprise account evaluating several HCI solutions. The customer will evaluate three

solutions in their datacenter simultaneously over the course of 4 days.

The customer schedules all necessary personnel to be available during this time.

Which two network planning items should the SE determine prior to allocation hardware for the POC? (Choose two)

A prospect wants to target Nutanix as infrastructure for running VMs built as part of their new Continuous Integration and Delivery (CICD) pipeline. Hundreds of builds will occur per day across their development organization.

Which two items should the SE identify to begin sizing the Nutanix deployment? (Choose two.)
