EMC Proven Professional – Cloud Architect — Question 10

An organization is currently virtualized, and the CIO is planning for the transition to ItaaS. They are striving to make significant changes to internal IT processes and policies in order to streamline operations, and to improve service levels by deploying automation and orchestration tools.
What is the most important consideration when choosing the orchestration tool?

Answer options

• A. Verify that the compute, storage and network element management tools can gather the required data for centralized management
• B. Allow the chargeback tool to integrate with external service provider infrastructure for unified cost charging
• C. Integrate with existing heterogeneous IT management tools including service desk, service catalog, performance monitoring and reporting
• D. Allow addition of more IT services to the service catalog to meet the business demands

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the primary goal of orchestration tools in an ItaaS environment is to enhance service delivery by adding more IT services that align with business requirements. Options A, B, and C, while important, focus on integration and management rather than the core objective of expanding service offerings.
