A map service has a measured service time of 0.5 seconds and must support a peak throughput of 36,000 requests per hour at a maximum 80% CPU utilization, on hardware with the same SPECrate as the benchmark. Approximately how many CPU cores are required?
In a highly available ArcGIS Data Store relational store, what mechanism maintains continuity if the primary machine fails?
Question · Medium
When a third-party load balancer fronts a highly available portal tier, which configuration best ensures traffic is only sent to healthy machines?
In an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment, what is the primary role of the ArcGIS Web Adaptor?
A design team must size the network bandwidth for a service expected to handle 36,000 requests per hour where each request transfers about 1.25 Mb. Using Network bandwidth = TH x Mb-per-request / 3600, what bandwidth is required?
Which statement about Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) for ArcGIS Pro clients is most accurate when designing the system?
An organization needs zero single points of failure in its base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. Which design satisfies high availability for the portal tier?
In ArcGIS Enterprise, which URL is the correct fully qualified administrative endpoint pattern for Portal for ArcGIS through a web adaptor?
A deployment must support a peak load that is four times the average. Which physical architecture adjustment best meets this constraint while controlling steady-state cost in a cloud environment?
When sizing an ArcGIS Server site, what does the maximum number of instances per service primarily control?
Which design input is required to translate a throughput requirement into server core counts during capacity planning?
An architecture must meet a constraint that the database tier cannot be virtualized but the GIS server tier may be. Which adjusted design honors this while preserving high availability?
Which ArcGIS Data Store type is purpose-built to ingest and store high-volume, time-enabled observation data from sensors and IoT feeds?
What is the main reason caching directories typically require fast, high-throughput disk I/O in an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment?
A scenario specifies that a remote field office has limited WAN bandwidth but needs fast basemap performance. Which physical design choice most directly addresses this?
When documenting a physical architecture diagram for ArcGIS Enterprise, which set of elements should be represented?
A target server has a lower per-core SPECrate than the benchmark hardware used to derive service time. How should the capacity calculation be adjusted?
Which approach best provides high availability for the hosting ArcGIS Server site in a base deployment?
An NFR requires 99.9% availability. Which design consideration is MOST directly relevant to achieving it?
In a cloud reference architecture for ArcGIS Enterprise, why are the relational data store and portal typically NOT placed behind an auto-scaling group, while the GIS server tier is?
A scenario requires that internal employees and external public users reach the same maps but through different entry points with different security. Which physical design pattern best supports this?
Which factor would MOST increase the number of CPU cores required for a given throughput target?
An organization wants its ArcGIS Pro analysts to run heavy desktop analysis without moving large datasets across the WAN. Which physical design best achieves this?
Which statement about memory (RAM) sizing for ArcGIS Server is correct?
A design must support 200 concurrent ArcGIS Pro users via VDI. Which is the MOST appropriate sizing approach?
In documenting ArcGIS Enterprise URLs, which endpoint represents the ArcGIS Server site administrator directory accessed through its web adaptor?
A scenario constrains the deployment to a single data center but still requires resilience against a single machine failure. Which design satisfies this within the constraint?
Which non-functional requirement would MOST directly drive the decision to place a content delivery cache near end users?
An architect must show how a request flows through a base deployment fronted by a load balancer. Which order is correct?
A capacity plan shows 12 cores are required but each available server has 8 cores. Which adjustment best meets the throughput target while preserving redundancy?
Why is it important to size for PEAK rather than AVERAGE load when designing an ArcGIS Enterprise system?
Which of the following is the BEST reason to deploy two ArcGIS Web Adaptors (one for portal, one for server) rather than one shared adaptor?
Which ArcGIS Server role/extension should be added when the solution requires hosting and analyzing imagery and raster data at scale?
Solution Architecture
A solution must ingest, process, and act on real-time GPS and sensor streams. Which ArcGIS Enterprise capability is the correct choice?
Which authentication approach lets users sign in to the portal with their existing corporate accounts via a SAML or OpenID Connect identity provider?
A solution requires storing and editing hosted feature layers with versioned, attribute-rich data. Which data store type is the appropriate primary choice?
A solution must run scheduled Python automation and data science against enterprise GIS content. Which server role fits best?
A business requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all portal access. What is the recommended way to satisfy this in ArcGIS Enterprise?
A solution must serve very large basemap tiles to thousands of viewers with minimal server compute. Which combination of components is most appropriate?
Which solution-architecture decision is required when a deployment must support both public anonymous viewers and authenticated internal editors of the same data?
A constraint limits the deployment to a fixed set of licensed components. The solution still needs network analysis routing services. Which adjustment is appropriate?
Which ArcGIS component is required for an organization to publish, search, and manage maps, apps, and layers as a Web GIS portal?
A solution must integrate ArcGIS Enterprise with an external business system over REST so each system can call the other. Which integration consideration is MOST important to capture in the design?
