Cloud Computing Management Questions

Multiple choice technology testing

Service outage can be reduced from execution of which service?

  1. Recovery

  2. Failover

  3. Monitoring

  4. Analysis support
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Failover is the service that automatically switches to a standby system when the primary system fails, thereby reducing service outage duration. Recovery is about restoring after an incident, Monitoring tracks health, and Analysis Support provides insights, but only Failover actively reduces outage time by maintaining continuity through redundant systems.

Does ePO Server Supports clustering?

  1. Below All

  2. Supports only Load balancing, not cluster

  3. No, ePO clustering of Applications does not exists

  4. Yes, ePO clustering of Applications exists
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

ePO (ePolicy Orchestrator) does support application clustering for high availability and scalability. This allows multiple ePO servers to work together as a cluster. Options A, B, and C incorrectly deny the existence of clustering support.

Which of the following are the top "Line of Business" priorities in an Exadata data warehousing opportunity?

  1. Business Value, Ease of Access, Results in Time for Deadlines, and "Best in Class" Infrastructure.

  2. Business Value, Improved Security, Results in Time for Deadlines, and "Good Enough" Infrastructure

  3. Reduced Cost, Ease of Access, Results in Time for Deadlines, and "Best in Class" Infrastructure.

  4. Business Value, Ease of Access, Results in Time for Deadlines, and "Good Enough" Infrastructure.

  5. Reduced Cost, Improved Security, Results in Time for Deadlines, and "Good Enough" Infrastructure.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

For Exadata data warehousing opportunities, the top Line of Business priorities are Business Value (justifying the investment), Ease of Access (self-service for business users), Results in Time for Deadlines (meeting SLA requirements), and 'Good Enough' Infrastructure (avoiding over-engineering). 'Best in Class' infrastructure and reduced cost are less critical than these operational priorities.

Multiple choice technology platforms and products

Which two statements describe situations that will benefit from using server groups? (Choose two.)

  1. You intend to cluster the Central Management Server (CMS).

  2. Datasources are located in geographically dispersed locations

  3. Some processing servers are configured for specific databases

  4. You are using a web farm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Server groups in BusinessObjects Enterprise allow administrators to direct specific processing jobs to designated servers. This is highly beneficial when processing servers need configuration for specific databases, or when datasources are geographically dispersed and require local server routing to optimize performance.

Multiple choice technology performance

In Siebel architecture,Load Balancing is achieved by

  1. a) Enterprise server

  2. b) Siebel Web Server Extension(SWSE)

  3. c) Web server

  4. d) none
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In Siebel architecture, the Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) handles load balancing by distributing incoming HTTP requests across multiple Siebel servers. The Enterprise server processes business logic, and the web server handles HTTP, but SWSE is specifically responsible for the load balancing function in the Siebel architecture.

Multiple choice technology

Which one of the following is true about Cloud computing

  1. Brings down the hardware costs

  2. Needs high initial investments

  3. Can access the data anywhere if we are connected to internet

  4. Both a&c
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Cloud computing reduces hardware costs by eliminating the need for local infrastructure - you rent resources from providers. It also enables universal access to data and applications from any location with internet connectivity. Option B is incorrect because cloud computing follows a pay-as-you-go model, not high upfront investments.

Multiple choice technology

Computing model analogous to new centralized power generation model, where we have comamn computing storage infrastructure for all users instead of having huge local servers and storage units.Users enroll for the respective services and pay for what they use is _____?

  1. Green computing

  2. Grid computing

  3. Cloud computing

  4. Utility Computing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The description matches cloud computing precisely: centralized shared infrastructure (like power plants) that users access on-demand, paying only for what they use. Grid computing (B) is about distributed resource sharing across organizations. Utility computing (D) is the billing model, not the architecture.

Multiple choice technology

Which of the following provide the platform as service

  1. Googles application Engine

  2. Microsoft's Azure

  3. Force.com

  4. All the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure, and Force.com are all major Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings. PaaS provides a platform for developers to build applications without managing underlying infrastructure. Option D correctly identifies that all three are PaaS providers.

Multiple choice technology

Which of the following is not considered as a part of cloud computing classification

  1. On premise private cloud

  2. Public Cloud

  3. community Cloud

  4. Hybrid cloud
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The standard cloud deployment models are Public, Private, Community, and Hybrid clouds. 'On premise private cloud' is not a distinct classification - it's simply describing where a private cloud is deployed (on-premise vs. hosted), but the classification itself remains 'Private cloud'. The deployment location is an implementation detail, not a separate category.

Multiple choice technology

Cloud computing can provide which of the following services

  1. Infrastructure as service

  2. Platform as service

  3. software as Service

  4. All the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Cloud computing delivers services through three primary models: IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service - e.g., AWS EC2, Azure VMs), PaaS (Platform as a Service - e.g., Heroku, Google App Engine), and SaaS (Software as a Service - e.g., Gmail, Salesforce). Since all three are valid cloud service models, 'All the above' is the correct answer.

Multiple choice technology architecture

Which among below is an important architectural characteristic that describes the ability of one application to be able to communicate with another application on a different application platform ?

  1. serviceability

  2. portability

  3. extensibility

  4. scalability

  5. interoperability
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

Interoperability is the ability of different systems or applications to work together and exchange information, even when they run on different platforms or are built by different vendors. This is a critical architectural characteristic for distributed systems and integration scenarios. Portability refers to running on different platforms, extensibility to adding features, scalability to handling growth, and serviceability to maintenance - none specifically address cross-platform communication.

Multiple choice technology architecture

Which of the following characteristic describes the ability to migrate an application to execute on other application platforms?

  1. portability

  2. extensibility

  3. interoperability

  4. availability

  5. serviceability
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Portability is the characteristic that describes how easily an application can be moved from one platform to another with minimal changes. This includes moving between different operating systems, hardware architectures, or cloud environments. Extensibility refers to adding new features, interoperability to cross-platform communication, availability to uptime, and serviceability to maintenance.
