Your long-time customer has just acquired a company with 3,500 employees and they are planning on bringing the new data center sites up to their standards. They have asked for a bill of materials given only locations and port counts at the data center sites. What are valid assumptions that should be documented in the proposal? (Choose two.)

• A. The IP segments in the existing data centers will remain the same as the acquired company.
• B. The power at the acquired company's data center locations is sufficient for the proposed equipment.
• C. The acquired company's existing contract staff will be hired as full-time employees
• D. The acquired company's physical data cable plant at the new location will meet the technical requirements of the new solution.
• E. The implementation project manager will be from the acquired company

Which two elements should be captured in the "success criteria" section of a data center network design proposal? (Choose two.)

• A. The customer's stock price at contract signing
• B. Specific acceptance tests that validate the design meets stated requirements
• C. Measurable performance targets (e.g., latency, uptime SLA) that define project success
• D. The number of vacation days taken by the project team
• E. The architect's personal preference for switch brand

A customer wants to convert as many upfront costs into smaller ongoing bills as possible. For which components can HPE GreenLake for Networking provide recurring billing?

• A. Hardware and support, but not software
• B. Hardware and software, but not support
• C. Hardware software, and support
• D. Software and support, but not hardware

During a design workshop, the customer states their applications are highly sensitive to latency and jitter, such as real-time market data feeds. What design change might you propose?

• A. Implement a non-blocking, low-latency spine-leaf fabric with minimal oversubscription and hardware timestamping/PTP support if needed
• B. Reduce the number of spine switches to simplify the topology
• C. Use store-and-forward switches exclusively to guarantee accuracy over speed
• D. Add additional aggregation tiers to increase path diversity

A customer wants to know how their new EVPN VXLAN fabric will interoperate with their existing WAN edge routers, which only support traditional VLAN trunks. What is an appropriate design element to bridge this gap?

• A. Disable the overlay entirely for WAN-facing traffic
• B. Require the customer to replace all WAN routers before the project can begin
• C. Extend VXLAN all the way to the WAN routers by upgrading their firmware
• D. Use border leaf switches to perform VXLAN-to-VLAN translation (bridging) toward the WAN edge
