A manufacturing company hired you to help them in their journey to a hybrid cloud. You conduct an assessment and recommend migrating several existing Tier 2 applications to a public cloud provider. You must work within the following constraints:
-Migration can be performed only during weekends -Only limited downtime is acceptable -The configuration of the host and applications cannot be changed -The company needs to keep the costs as low as possible -Although there are no specific performance requirements, they are concerned about the quality
of the user experience
Which solution best addresses these needs?

• A. Layer 3 connection over Internet with WAN optimization
• B. Layer 2 extension with VPN connection over Internet with WAN optimization
• C. Layer 2 extension with dedicated link and WAN optimization
• D. Layer 3 connection over Internet with QoS

Which describes the process for instantiating an IaaS offering?

• A. The consumer interacts with an orchestration engine that communicates directly with the hypervisor layer. This triggers a creation of service, allocating resources.
• B. The consumer, via a web based catalog, selects an orchestration engine that communicates with the hypervisor layer. This triggers a creation of service, allocating CPU, RAM, networking and storage.
• C. The consumer, via a web based catalog, selects a service which utilizes an orchestration engine that communicates with the hypervisor layer. This triggers a creation of service through the allocation of resources.
• D. The consumer, via a web based catalog, deploys a template that communicates with the hypervisor layer. This triggers a creation of service, allocating CPU, RAM, networking and storage.

An enterprise decided to place some sensitive data - intellectual property - in the public cloud and implemented security mechanisms to protect this data.
Recently the public cloud provider's systems had a security breach. The enterprise was not concerned because they felt their data had been completely protected. All of the services housing the data are protected by an IPS application and no alerts were generated by the system.
How did the enterprise protect its data?

• A. The data was not encrypted but the enterprise maintained a backup of the data in a secure off-
  site location.
  The cloud provider's logs showed that the enterprise's services were not copied.
• B. All data in the public cloud environment was encrypted at-rest and in-transit. The encryption
  keys were under complete control of the enterprise and were not available to the public provider.
  The cloud provider's logs showed that the enterprise's services were copied.
• C. All data in the public cloud environment was encrypted in-transit only. The encryption keys were
  under complete control of the enterprise and were not available to the public provider.
  The cloud provider's logs showed that the enterprise's services were neither accessed nor copied.
• D. All data in the public cloud environment was encrypted at-rest and in-transit. Copies of the
  encryption keys were secured by the public cloud provider using 1024-bit encryption.
  The cloud provider's logs showed that the enterprise's services were neither accessed nor copied.

A public cloud service provider wants to improve their IT capabilities in the following areas:

2 - More comprehensive element management
3 - Holistic visibility across their storage services
4 - Security and Audit Log Management
5 - Reduce troubleshooting time
Which three areas is ProSphere best suited to address?
