Following a recent acquisition, the architect learns that both companies use vSphere on-premise and will need to combine the data centers into one. The acquired company's licenses will not be renewed for cost-savings related to the acquisition. All consumed vSphere licenses must have active support to support line-of- business operations. The merged environment must maintain 25% spare capacity. The architect has a small budget remaining unallocated for hardware. The architect has calculated that the current

An architect is designing a VMware solution for a customer based on the following information: The solution must support the ability to migrate workloads between hosts within a cluster. The solution must support resource management priorities. The solution must support the ability to connect virtual machines directly to LUNs. The solution should use existing IPv4 based network infrastructure. There is no budget for additional physical hardware. Which two design decisions could the architect make to meet the

During a requirements gathering workshop, the architect shares the following diagram: What should the architect recommend for guaranteed throughput for each service?

Which design decision must be included in a design to allow for the deployment of a minimum supported configuration of vCenter High Availability (HA)?

A customer is deploying a new cluster and wants to be able to patch and update two hosts in parallel. The cluster must be able to maintain N+1 resiliency across the remaining hosts while patching activities are performed. The current expected utilization of the platform requires a minimum of two hosts to support all of the virtual machines. What is the minimum number of hosts the customer will require in the cluster in order to meet the required resiliency level?

During a requirements gathering workshop, a customer shares the following diagram regarding their availability service-level agreements (SLAs): The customer states that there is no application level availability for legacy applications. Which recommendation could the architect make to meet the customer’s high availability requirements for the legacy applications virtual machines?
