Exam NCP-US Topic 9 Question 24 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-US exam
Question #: 24
Topic #: 9
The exhibit shows a Prism Pro scenario result created by an administrator for a Nutanix cluster.
The physical nodes in the cluster include these characteristics:
144 GHz CPU power
3 Tib RAM
41.63 TiB storage
The total target workload requests are:
5 Ghz CPU
10 GB RAM
40 TiB storage
What should be changed to have a good capacity runway at least for the next 6 months?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

According to the Nutanix Support & Insights website1, capacity runway is an estimate of how long your cluster can support its current workload before running out of resources2. The exhibit shows that your cluster has a storage runway of only 1 month, which means you will run out of storage space soon. However, your CPU and memory runways are much longer (more than 2 years), which means you have plenty of CPU and memory resources available. Therefore, it might be possible to reduce the storage capacity requested by your workload or optimize your storage utilization to extend your storage runway. Alternatively, you could also increase the storage capacity for physical nodes or add new physical nodes to the configuration, but these options might be more costly and complex.
