Question 2

SOA provides the technology underpinnings for working with services that are not just software or hardware,but rather business tasks.

Accepted Answer

SOA provides the technology underpinnings for working with services that are not just software or hardware, but rather business tasks.

Question 3

Describe the business value in deploying a service oriented architecture.

Accepted Answer

Service oriented architecture (SOA)is a business-driven IT architectural approach that supports integrating a business as linked,repeatable tasks or services.SOA helps businesses innovate by ensuring that IT systems can adapt quickly,easily,and economically to support rapidly changing business needs.SOA increases the flexibility of business processes,strengthens underlying IT architectures,and reuses existing IT investments by creating connections among disparate applications and information sources.

Question 4

Which of the following is not an additional benefit of virtualization?
A) Rapid application deployment
B) Dynamic load balancing
C) Ease of use for customer relationship management systems
D) Streamlined disaster recovery

Accepted Answer

Ease of use for customer relationship management systems is not a benefit of virtualization.

Question 5

What is a SOA service?
A) A simple business task
B) A complex business process which only delivers value to a consumer
C) All business processes dealing with customer credit
D) All business processes dealing with employee payroll

Accepted Answer

This is the definition of SOA service.

Question 6

What is a business-driven IT architectural approach that supports organizational computing needs with utility-based computing concepts?
A) Business continuity planning
B) Open systems
C) Service oriented architecture
D) Web services

Accepted Answer

This is the definition of service oriented architecture.

Question 7

What enables organizations to optimize computing and data resources,pool them for large capacity workloads,share them across networks,and enable collaboration?
A) Virtualization
B) Interoperability
C) Loose Coupling
D) Grid Computing

Accepted Answer

With grid computing, organizations can optimize computing and data resources, pool them for large capacity workloads, share them across networks and enable collaboration.

Question 9

Which of the following reflects Moore's Law?
A) New generations of chips deliver double the processing power as the previous generation
B) New generations of chips deliver triple the processing power as the previous generation
C) New generations of chips deliver quadruple the processing power as the previous generation
D) Impossible to determine

Accepted Answer

New generations of chips deliver twice as much processing power as the previous generation.

Question 10

What is the ability to present the resources of a single computer as if it is a collection of separate computers,each with its own virtual CPUs,network interfaces,storage,and operating system?
A) System virtualization
B) Server virtualization
C) Desktop virtualization
D) All of these

Accepted Answer

This is the definition of system virtualization.

Question 11

Accepted Answer

The answer of Service oriented architecture begins with a(n)______________....

Question 12

Which of the following is not part of a typical SOA solution?
A) Integrate information to make it more accessible to employees
B) Understand how business processes interact to better manage administrative costs
C) Decrease people productivity with better business integration
D) Improve customer retention and deliver new products and services through reuse of current investments

Accepted Answer

Improve people productivity with better business integration and connectivity.

Question 13

What is an aggregation of geographically dispersed computing,storage,and network resources,coordinated to deliver improved performance,higher quality of service,better utilization,and easier access to data?
A) Virtualization
B) Interoperability
C) Loose Coupling
D) Grid Computing

Accepted Answer

This is the definition of grid computing.

Question 14

What is a model of software deployment,where an application is licensed for use as a service,provided to customers on-demand?
A) Cloud Computing
B) Software as a Service
C) Loose Coupling
D) Grid Computing

Accepted Answer

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a model of software deployment where an application is licensed for use as a service and provided to customers on-demand. This is typically done through a web browser or mobile app, and the customer pays a subscription fee to access the software. This is a popular model for many types of software, including customer relationship management (CRM), human resource management (HRM), and project management. Cloud computing and grid computing are related concepts, but they refer more broadly to the infrastructure and technology used to deliver software and services, rather than the specific model of deployment. Loose coupling is a design principle for software architecture, and is not directly related to software deployment models.

Question 15

What are the key technical concepts of SOA?
A) Processes, integration, tight coupling
B) Services, interoperability, loose coupling
C) Services, processes, loose coupling
D) Processes, interoperability, tight coupling

Accepted Answer

Services, interoperability, and loose coupling are the key technical concepts of SOA.

Question 16

Services are business tasks.

Accepted Answer

This is the definition of services.
