$1.2 billion

Your answer is correct.

Question 20 What is data governance and why is it important for AI projects?

Correct

1.00 points out Select one:

of 1.00
On a data and analytics platform such as IBM Cloud Pak for Data, multiple users may be training models using
different datasets at the same time. Data governance refers to the policy-based approach of providing more
bandwidth during data access to those workloads that are considered higher priority than other ones. This way,
business-critical workloads finish faster.

Data governance is about ensuring that data is trustworthy, complete and consistent. Without this, leaders can't be
confident that they are extracting full value from their data or that they're even making decisions based on correct
information. Additionally, if an organization doesn't know what data they have and how they are using it, they can be
subject to regulatory non-compliance challenges. 

Data governance is about ensuring that the data for a particular type of workload is stored on the most appropriate
storage medium (block storage versus object storage, for example).

Data governance refers to the practice of collocating an application in the same physical location (for example,
together in an on-premises data center or in a public cloud data center) where its data resides. This collocation is
critical to the performance of data science and artificial intelligence workloads and so all data is typically copied
locally to the platform where this analysis is being done.

Your answer is correct.

Question 21 IBM Db2 Warehouse is an in-memory columnar database designed for high-performance, in-database analytics. It can
Correct be locally deployed within an IBM Cloud Pak for Data cluster and is supported on both x86 and Power servers. In an
1.00 points out internal benchmark, IBM compared the performance of a Db2 Warehouse analytics workload running on Power (L922)
of 1.00 versus Intel x86 (Intel Xeon SP Platinum). What was the result of this benchmark?

Select one:
x86 had 2.73x better per-core performance versus Power.

x86 had 3.87x better per-core performance versus Power.

Power had 1.98x better per-core performance versus x86.

Power had 2.54x better per-core performance versus x86. 

Your answer is correct.

Question 22 IBM offers IBM Cloud Pak for Data in a Cloud Native Edition and an Enterprise Edition. What is the difference between
Correct these two editions?
1.00 points out
of 1.00 Select one:
Enterprise Edition supports add-ons for additional functionality, but add-ons are not supported with Cloud Native
Edition.

Cloud Native Edition supports a maximum of three worker nodes. Enterprise Edition supports a minimum of four
worker nodes and a maximum of 100 worker nodes. Users can upgrade from one edition to the other when the
cluster size grows.

Cloud Native Edition is required when deploying into a public cloud environment. Enterprise Edition is required
when deploying on-premises within a customer's data center.

Cloud Native Edition includes all of the capabilities found in Enterprise Edition, including the ability to install add-
ons, but Cloud Native Edition has limits in place (such as the number of models deployed at any given time). 

Your answer is correct.

Question 23 IBM Power Systems are well known for their strong virtualization capabilities. Being able to run more virtual machines
Correct and more containers per core makes more efficient use of the underlying hardware and is a significant differentiator
1.00 points out between Power servers and x86-based servers. IBM ran a benchmark with MongoDB in an IBM Cloud Private
of 1.00 environment (which would be applicable to an IBM Cloud Pak for Data environment as well) comparing both
architectures. How many more containers per core was the POWER9-based server able to run versus the comparable
x86-based server?

Select one:
1.2x

2.9x

3.6x 

1.7x

Your answer is correct.

Question 24 Your client is planning to deploy IBM Cloud Pak for Data (ICP for Data) on a set of IBM Power servers. However, they
Correct also want to deploy an add-on that is not yet available on Power - only x86. Their data center also includes x86 servers
1.00 points out and they are not opposed to using these servers in some way. What do you suggest they do in this situation?
of 1.00

Select one:
Propose a staged approach where they install the base ICP for Data components on the Power servers now but
have them wait on deploying the add-on until such time when it's available for Power. Give them an estimate of when
Power support is coming so they can properly plan for this approach.

Install the base ICP for Data components on the Power servers. ICP for Data does not support a mix of x86 and
Power nodes and so they will have to procure the standalone equivalent of the add-on they're interested in and install
that software themselves on one of their x86 servers. However, there will be no integration with the ICP for Data
cluster in this case.

Because the add-on is not yet supported on Power, have your customer temporarily install everything on x86
servers. They can later move the entire environment over to Power when the add-on is eventually supported there.

ICP for Data supports a mix of x86 and Power nodes. They can install the base ICP for Data components on the
Power servers and they can then deploy the add-on on one of the x86 worker nodes within the cluster. 

Your answer is correct.

Question 25 For large enterprise initiatives where IBM Cloud Pak for Data is being considered, which group of people are considered
Correct the primary decision makers?
