Advanced Design VMware vSphere 7.x: 3V0-21.21

An architect is designing a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution based on the following customer requirements: The solution must initially support 1,000 virtual machines The solution must scale to support the concurrent running of up to 5,000 virtual machines The production environment should be delivered across two data centers The solution should have a maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) of four hours The solution should have a monthly service availability target of 99.8%

Which two assumptions could the architect make based on the information from the customer to help size the solution? (Choose two.)

A. The number of vSphere hosts in a cluster

B. The average resource utilization of a virtual machine

C. The size (CPU/RAM/storage) of the average virtual machine

D. The guest operating system for each virtual machine

E. The size (CPU/RAM/storage) of the vSphere hosts

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer's Chief Information Security Office (CISO)

provides the following requirements that are pertinent to the design of a new vSphere environment:

All operating system critical patches must be installed within 24 hours of release.

All virtual machine templates must be updated every three months in line with company policy.

Which requirement classification is being gathered for the design documentation?

A. Security

B. Manageability

C. Recoverability

D. Availability

There is a request for approved virtual machine applications through a new vSphere platform's integrated

automation portal. The platform was built following all provided company security guidelines and has been

assessed against Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) regulations.

The platform has the following characteristics:

vRealize Operations is being used to monitor all clusters.

There is a dedicated ESXi cluster, supporting all management services.

-All network traffic is via distributed virtual switches (DVS).

There is a dedicated ESXi cluster for all line-of-business applications.

-

Network traffic is serviced by NSX-T.

There is a dedicated ESXi cluster for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).

-

Network traffic is serviced by NSX-T.

The application owner is requesting approval to install a new service that must be protected as per the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.

Which additional non-functional requirement should the architect include in the design to support the new service?

A. The vSphere hosting platform and all PCI application virtual machines must be assessed against Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard compliance.

B. The vSphere hosting platform and all PCI application virtual machines must be assessed for SOX compliance.

C. The vSphere hosting platform and all PCI application virtual machine network traffic must be routed via NSX-T.

D. The vSphere hosting platform and all PCI application virtual machines must be monitored using the vRealize Operations Compliance Pack for Payment Card Industry.
