What should you recommend?

You need to recommend the appropriate strategy for the data mining application.

What should you recommend?
A . Configure multiple on-premises cluster that runs multiple Azure virtual machines to connect by using an Azure virtual private network (VPN).
B . Configure an on-premises cluster that runs multiple Azure virtual machines that is located in the central office.
C . Configure a cluster of high-performance computing virtual machines (VMs) that use the largest number of cores. Ensure that the VMs are instantiated in different Azure datacenters that are distributed across the same affinity group.
D . Configure a cluster of high-performance computing virtual machines (VMs) that use the largest number of cores. Ensure that the VMs are instantiated in the same Azure datacenter.

Answer: B

Explanation:

Scenario: Data Mining

Lucerne Publishing constantly mines its data to identify customer patterns. The company plans to replace the existing on-premises cluster with a cloud-based solution.

* The data mining solution must support the use of hundreds to thousands of processing cores.

* Minimize the number of virtual machines by using more powerful virtual machines. Each virtual machine must always have eight or more processor cores available.

* Allow the number of processor cores dedicated to an analysis to grow and shrink automatically based on the demand of the analysis.

* Virtual machines must use remote memory direct access to improve performance.
