ACME retail has 38 locations spread out across Ave US states and two provinces in Canad
a. They are looking to grow 20% over the next two years. They have an HO with a staff of 200 employees. The organization has eight Regional Managers and two VPs who work from home and the road. Stores typically have 17 employees on average per location.
The two warehouses have a remote loading system and 20 employees each to load the trucks and fulfill the online orders. The warehouse has 40-foot ceilings and large metal racks to store inventory. The main location is 240K sq ft (22300 st) m) and the Canadian warehouse Is 130K sq ft (12100 sq ml. The forkllfts on the loading docks are equipped with a wireless tablet on board.
A typical store Is reportedly about 60.000 sq ft (5575 sqm) and smaller stores are planned at 25.000 sq ft '2320 sq mi. The locations need to expand the abilities to vendors that need to add setup displays or Interactive kiosks in the stores. The current Infrastructure was installed In 2015 and used wireless N technology in a coverage model. The wiring is CatS. and they are unsure of the fiber connections. The inventory is all placed on the floor when it is delivered to the local store.
Inventory control is handled through Zebra barcode scanners, and they have had a lot of issues in getting signals throughout the stores and this makes monthly inventory difficult. The organization has a small help desk to troubleshoot issues that happen at the retail locations and PC support for the office. The company is looking to upgrade away from the current pbx system later this year. With the need to grow and cut costs, they are interested in moving the data to the cloud but need to get almost real-time inventory control for the online service to function.
The network has all been wired over the last ten years, but with the new systems being all wireless, they have seen the trend to offer wireless to all the vendors for their needs but also would like to allow employees, guests, and contractors all to use it. With the new IT director starting next week, the project has been set by the CTO of the company. The marketing group has asked how they can interact with the customers and get more info, while the IT support desk needs to cut staff in halt.
The. office has an MDF and two IDFs located on floors one and two. The HOF is in the basement, and you have multiple WAN circuits for the HO links. Each store has a local handoff from the cable company (ethernet) In the middle of the store in the office, so distance for the wiring is not an issue.
The customer has budget concerns but does want something that could last 7+ years.
The customer would like to host all the applications at the HO Data Center. Which design would meet the customer's requirements?
For ACME Retail, which aims to host all applications at the HO Data Center and has multiple locations spread across different geographical areas, the Aruba SD-Branch Architecture would be the most suitable design to meet their requirements. This architecture provides a simplified, integrated branch networking solution combining SD-WAN, LAN, and security features. It enables centralized management and control, allowing ACME Retail to efficiently route traffic from branch locations to the HO Data Center, ensuring secure and reliable access to applications. The SD-Branch solution can accommodate the company's growth and adapt to changing network demands, making it an ideal choice for a scalable and flexible network infrastructure that supports ACME Retail's business objectives.
Which alternative source is best suited for site surveys or simul-ations if no floor plans are available?
When floor plans are not available for site surveys or simulations, the best alternative source to use is the fire escape plan (Option D). Fire escape plans are typically available in most buildings and provide a simplified layout of the premises, including walls, doors, and sometimes the location of permanent fixtures. While not as detailed as architectural floor plans, fire escape plans can offer enough information for initial site survey estimations and RF planning. They allow network designers to understand the basic layout and potential RF obstacles or coverage areas, making them a practical tool for preliminary wireless network planning and simulations in the absence of more detailed floor plans.
A large multinational financial institution has contracted you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for their new 6-story regional office building. The bottom two floors of this facility will be retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted office space for corporate users, each floor being approximately 100.000 sq ft (9290 sqm). Data centers are all off site and will be out of scope for this project. The customer is underserved by its existing L2-based network infrastructure and would like to take advantage of modern best practices in the new design. The network should be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.
The retail space will include public guest Wi-Fi access. Retail associates will have corporate tablets for customer service, and there will be a mix of wired and wireless devices throughout the retail floors. The corporate users will primarily use wireless for connectivity, but several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will be in use.
The customer is also planning on renovating the corporate office space in order to take advantage of "smart office' technology. These improvements will drive blue-dot wayfinding. presence analytics, and other location-based services
The client decided that they would like to manage two wiring closets as a single stack with a total of 10 switches and a minimum transport speed or 25Gbps over OM4 MM fiber They would also like to keep the stacking cabling cost to a minimum.
Which stacking components would be required to meet the customer's requirements in the most cost-effective way if the closets were 190 m (620 ft) apart? (Select two.)
To meet the customer's requirement of managing two wiring closets as a single stack with a minimum transport speed of 25Gbps over OM4 MM fiber, especially when the closets are 190m apart, the most cost-effective solution would involve using SFP transceivers. SFP28 transceivers can support speeds up to 25Gbps, aligning with the customer's minimum speed requirement. For higher speeds or future-proofing, SFP56 transceivers, which can support speeds up to 50Gbps, could also be considered. Both types are compatible with OM4 multimode fiber, which is capable of supporting these high speeds over the distance specified. DAC (Direct Attach Cable) solutions like options A and C would not be feasible due to the 190m distance between the closets, as DAC cables are typically used for much shorter distances.

Which two projects does the customer have in the planning state? (Select two)
ACME Retail is in the planning stages of upgrading their current PBX system to a VoIP system, as indicated by their intention to move away from the existing PBX system later in the year. This upgrade is part of their overall network infrastructure overhaul to incorporate modern best practices. Additionally, the company is facing challenges with their current inventory control system, particularly with Zebra barcode scanners having signal issues throughout the stores, making monthly inventory processes difficult. Improving the inventory control system to achieve almost real-time inventory for their online service is a critical aspect of their growth and cost-cutting strategy, hence it's in the planning stage as well.
