Cisco 700-905 Exam - Topic 4 Question 43 Discussion

There are often disadvantages when using mixed hardware, and uniform systems are highly advised. What are three disadvantages of using validated yet mixed hardware? (Choose three.)
C) 'Software only' HCI solutions often mean that HCI vendors do not have control over the hardware that the consumer is using. The lack of control over the hardware can result in hardware not being security-compliant (usually the case with white box solutions) or not being optimally configured for the given HCI solution. and E) 'Software only' solutions can result in a lack of simplicity for installation and maintenance. While setup and maintenance of an HCI solution might be simple you still need to configure and maintain the hardware part, which is not orchestrated by the HCI solution. and F) Validated hardware does not mean smooth performance, which particularly applies to hardware that is seldom chosen for the hardware part of the 'software only' solution.
A) 'Hardware only' solutions require less latency for data aggregation.
B) 'Software only' solutions are inherently more secure, adhering to government regulations.
D) Validated yet 'mixed' hardware systems may be supported by the specific original equipment manufacturers but software vendors require a master level services agreement.

F is interesting, but I thought validated hardware was supposed to perform well?

Wait, are 'software only' solutions really more secure? Sounds fishy.

A mixed hardware setup can lead to compatibility issues.

I recall that validated hardware doesn't guarantee performance, especially if it's not the best fit for the software solution. That could definitely be a disadvantage.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think one of the disadvantages is about the complexity of maintenance. It's harder to manage when you have different hardware types.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think one disadvantage might be related to security compliance. Mixed hardware could mean some components aren't up to standard.

I remember discussing how mixed hardware can lead to compatibility issues, especially with software that isn't optimized for all types of hardware.

Okay, I think I know the answer to this one. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibits employers from discriminating against pregnant women, so option D must be the incorrect statement.

I'm pretty confident that option A is the correct answer. The worker nodes don't use a service manager, they just execute the tasks assigned to them.
