EMC Proven Professional – Cloud Architect — Question 41

In the evolution of converged infrastructure, what are Appliances?

Answer options

• A. Factory fabricated systems that offer a complete cloud with multiple personas on top of common hardware
• B. Multi-persona factory fabricated systems with integrated cloud deployment models that are able to scale storage and compute independently
• C. Engineered systems designed to deliver discreet components in a predictable manner with a single personality
• D. Single-personality infrastructure for customers that lack the expertise in-house to deploy and manage Converged Systems

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, accurately describes Appliances as factory-fabricated systems that offer a complete cloud environment with various personas on a unified hardware platform. Option B, while related, emphasizes independent scaling, which is not a defining characteristic of Appliances. Option C describes engineered systems but misses the multi-persona aspect, and D focuses on single-personality infrastructure, which does not capture the essence of Appliances.
