WEBVTT 1 00:00.000 --> 00:07.600 So for this challenge, we're asked to answer a series of questions related to 2 00:07.600 --> 00:08.220 the material 3 00:08.220 --> 00:10.800 presented in this skill. 4 00:10.800 --> 00:15.070 So let's go ahead and jump in here with our first question, which is coming 5 00:15.070 --> 00:16.200 from the Examining 6 00:16.200 --> 00:18.800 Collocations section. 7 00:18.800 --> 00:25.570 Which of the following is a primary benefit of data center collocations for 8 00:25.570 --> 00:26.560 businesses? 9 00:26.560 --> 00:31.690 As we look down our answers here, our first answer is it eliminates the need WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 9 00:26.560 --> 00:31.690 As we look down our answers here, our first answer is it eliminates the need 10 00:31.690 --> 00:32.680 for internet 11 00:32.680 --> 00:33.920 connectivity. 12 00:33.920 --> 00:38.870 Well, the company either needs internet connectivity or it doesn't, that really 13 00:38.870 --> 00:39.820 doesn't have too 14 00:39.820 --> 00:43.880 much to do with whether we're using a collocation or not. 15 00:43.880 --> 00:48.400 I would dare say that probably most of the businesses out there today need 16 00:48.400 --> 00:49.960 internet connectivity 17 00:49.960 --> 00:53.680 and a collocation is not going to change that. 18 00:53.680 --> 01:00.200 Number two, it centralizes all IT infrastructure in one location for easier WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 18 00:53.680 --> 01:00.200 Number two, it centralizes all IT infrastructure in one location for easier 19 01:00.200 --> 01:01.940 physical access. 20 01:01.940 --> 01:06.600 This is also going to be incorrect for sort of a variety of reasons. 21 01:06.600 --> 01:10.340 Number one, we're not centralizing the IT infrastructure because it's going to 22 01:10.340 --> 01:10.600 be at 23 01:10.600 --> 01:13.000 an offsite location. 24 01:13.000 --> 01:16.360 Number two, it says easier physical access. 25 01:16.360 --> 01:20.270 Well, in all honesty, it's probably going to be more difficult to get into a 26 01:20.270 --> 01:20.960 collocation 27 01:20.960 --> 01:25.840 center than it is to get into a data center that you own. 28 01:25.840 --> 01:30.560 Answer number three, it restricts bandwidth scalability to maintain cost WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 28 01:25.840 --> 01:30.560 Answer number three, it restricts bandwidth scalability to maintain cost 29 01:30.560 --> 01:31.680 consistency. 30 01:31.680 --> 01:35.760 Well, again, this isn't really going to have anything to do with bandwidth scal 31 01:35.760 --> 01:36.240 ability 32 01:36.240 --> 01:38.040 or anything like that. 33 01:38.040 --> 01:41.040 So this would also be an incorrect answer. 34 01:41.040 --> 01:47.090 So our final answer is it allows businesses to rent space for their servers and 35 01:47.090 --> 01:47.920 hardware 36 01:47.920 --> 01:51.920 reducing capital and operational expenditures. 37 01:51.920 --> 01:55.440 And that definitely sounds like a correct answer. 38 01:55.440 --> 01:58.080 That's exactly what a collocation is. 39 01:58.080 --> 02:02.760 And that is definitely the primary benefit to the business. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 39 01:58.080 --> 02:02.760 And that is definitely the primary benefit to the business. 40 02:02.760 --> 02:09.920 Next question from the cloud on ramp for collocation section, which component 41 02:09.920 --> 02:11.320 is essential for 42 02:11.320 --> 02:16.760 the operation of Cisco cloud on ramp for collocations? 43 02:16.760 --> 02:20.000 So here we actually have a couple easy answers. 44 02:20.000 --> 02:24.080 First, Cisco Unified Communications Manager. 45 02:24.080 --> 02:27.520 We certainly don't need that for on ramp. 46 02:27.520 --> 02:33.420 Cisco Aeronet, wireless access points, of course, definitely not needed for WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 46 02:27.520 --> 02:33.420 Cisco Aeronet, wireless access points, of course, definitely not needed for 47 02:33.420 --> 02:35.000 collocation. 48 02:35.000 --> 02:39.950 The Cisco ASA or the adaptive security appliance, we may actually have one of 49 02:39.950 --> 02:40.800 those at our 50 02:40.800 --> 02:41.800 collocation. 51 02:41.800 --> 02:46.160 However, it is certainly not an essential piece. 52 02:46.160 --> 02:52.560 So this is going to leave us with the correct answer, the Cisco Catalyst 9500 53 02:52.560 --> 02:53.960 series switches. 54 02:53.960 --> 02:59.050 This is what's going to provide the network fabric for cloud on ramp for coll 55 02:59.050 --> 03:00.000 ocations. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 56 03:00.000 --> 03:04.480 Next question from Understand Cloud Exchanges. 57 03:04.480 --> 03:09.650 What is a critical feature of cloud exchanges that enhance the connectivity 58 03:09.650 --> 03:10.680 between cloud 59 03:10.680 --> 03:14.240 service providers and their customers? 60 03:14.240 --> 03:19.490 So our first answer here is the ability to provide unlimited storage capacity 61 03:19.490 --> 03:19.880 for all 62 03:19.880 --> 03:25.880 cloud services, while a cloud exchange does not offer storage services. 63 03:25.880 --> 03:28.520 So that's going to be incorrect. 64 03:28.520 --> 03:34.170 Automatic data backup and recovery for all devices connected to the cloud WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 64 03:28.520 --> 03:34.170 Automatic data backup and recovery for all devices connected to the cloud 65 03:34.170 --> 03:34.480 exchange. 66 03:34.480 --> 03:38.320 Once again, this is not something that the cloud exchange handles. 67 03:38.320 --> 03:42.560 Free data transfer rates between all connected cloud services. 68 03:42.560 --> 03:46.640 No, we're certainly not going to get this service for free. 69 03:46.640 --> 03:48.920 So that's going to be incorrect. 70 03:48.920 --> 03:54.210 So this once again leaves our final answer, direct private connections that 71 03:54.210 --> 03:54.880 bypass the 72 03:54.880 --> 04:00.080 public internet, enhancing performance and security. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 72 03:54.880 --> 04:00.080 public internet, enhancing performance and security. 73 04:00.080 --> 04:02.880 This is going to be our correct answer. 74 04:02.880 --> 04:06.720 That's exactly what cloud exchanges offer. 75 04:06.720 --> 04:11.360 And just to add to that answer a little bit, it also provides access to 76 04:11.360 --> 04:12.440 multiple cloud 77 04:12.440 --> 04:17.120 providers at the same time through a single connection. 78 04:17.120 --> 04:22.840 And here we have our final question from introduction to SDCI. 79 04:22.840 --> 04:29.170 What is a key technological foundation of software defined cloud interconnect 80 04:29.170 --> 04:29.880 SDCI? 81 04:29.880 --> 04:37.480 Well, our first answer is augmented reality or AR for interface visualization. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 81 04:29.880 --> 04:37.480 Well, our first answer is augmented reality or AR for interface visualization. 82 04:37.480 --> 04:39.400 That's actually by the way a pretty cool feature. 83 04:39.400 --> 04:42.240 I have some networking equipment that supports that. 84 04:42.240 --> 04:48.150 It's a neat feature, but it's certainly not something that's necessary for SDCI 85 04:48.150 --> 04:48.440 . 86 04:48.440 --> 04:53.840 Next is software defined networking for flexible network management. 87 04:53.840 --> 04:57.990 That sounds like a pretty good answer, but let's look at the rest of our 88 04:57.990 --> 04:58.760 answers to see 89 04:58.760 --> 05:00.480 if they're better. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 89 04:58.760 --> 05:00.480 if they're better. 90 05:00.480 --> 05:04.280 Blockchain technology for transactional data integrity. 91 05:04.280 --> 05:09.480 Again, this is not something that's being offered by SDCI. 92 05:09.480 --> 05:14.440 Neither is quantum computing for data processing. 93 05:14.440 --> 05:16.800 So that would also be incorrect. 94 05:16.800 --> 05:21.840 So that answer we chose software defined networking for flexible network 95 05:21.840 --> 05:23.400 management is going to 96 05:23.400 --> 05:25.960 be our correct answer. 97 05:25.960 --> 05:28.240 So that concludes this quiz. 98 05:28.240 --> 05:32.390 If you find that you struggled to answer any of these questions, I would WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 98 05:28.240 --> 05:32.390 If you find that you struggled to answer any of these questions, I would 99 05:32.390 --> 05:33.000 encourage you 100 05:33.000 --> 05:38.460 to go back and review the referenced sections for each question that you got 101 05:38.460 --> 05:39.560 incorrect. 102 05:39.560 --> 05:45.530 Otherwise, congratulations on completing understand co-locations and cloud 103 05:45.530 --> 05:46.680 exchanges. 104 05:46.680 --> 05:50.700 I hope this has been informative for you, and I'd like to thank you for viewing 105 05:50.700 --> 05:50.880 .
