An architect is documenting the logical design for a new vSphere solution. The following requirements have been provided to the architect by the customer for the design:
The solution must be deployed in two locations: DC1 and DC2
The solution must limit the impact radius of accidental changes by administrators
The solution must meet a recovery time objective (RTO) of four (4) hours and recovery point objective (RPO) of 24 hours
The solution must allow workloads to run in both DC1 and DC2 during normal operations The solution must allow workloads to be moved bi-directionally between DC1 and DC2 The solution must use hyper-converged infrastructure for the virtual machine storage
The customer has also confirmed that the network connection between DC1 and DC2 has a 10 Gbps bandwidth with a maximum round trip latency of 4 ms.
The architect recommends the following design decision:
Use separate clusters in DC1 and DC2 to form a multi-region design What should the architect include as justification for this design decision?
- A . Sufficient capacity must be deployed in both DC1 and DC2 to support all running virtual machines.
- B . Using separate clusters mitigates the risk of an accidental change at the cluster level in DC1 from impacting DC2.
- C . Using separate clusters is the only configuration available that supports the RTO of four (4) hours.
- D . The network connection between DC1 and DC2 does not support the use of stretched clusters.
An architect is designing the virtual networking components of a vSphere-based solution that will provide an environment for the development of a new latency sensitive stock trading application.
The following information was identified within the initial meeting with the customer:
The customer has vCenter Standard and vSphere Standard licenses left over from a previous project.
The customer’s CFO has approved budget for additional purchases, if required.
The following requirements were also identified during the meeting:
The solution must support 500 development workloads concurrently running in the secondary site.
The solution must support the ability to complete all vSphere Operational Management centrally.
The solution must ensure business-critical applications are not impacted by vSphere system-level operations.
Given the requirements, the architect has decided on a single 20-node cluster for development.
Which three additional design decisions should the architect make to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)
- A . The solution will configure Traffic Shaping policies to restrict network bandwidth on ingress and egress.
- B . The solution will deploy VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus on all hosts within the cluster.
- C . The solution will deploy VMware vSphere Standard on all hosts within the cluster.
- D . The solution will deploy a single VMware Standard Switch that will be configured identically on each host.
- E . The solution will deploy a single vSphere Distributed Switch with each host connected to it.
- F . The solution will configure Network I/O control to ensure that system-level bandwidth does not impact workload network traffic.

An architect is responsible for the design of a greenfield vSphere-based solution for hosting a new web-based application. The customer has provided the following high-level information:
The solution will host a highly transactional web application that is spread across multiple workloads within a vSphere cluster.
The workloads should be distributed evenly across the hosts to maximize the performance and availability of the web application.
The architect has made various design decisions, including:
The solution will deploy vSphere distributed switches for all virtual networking.
Which network load balancing method should the architect document in the physical design to meet the requirements?
- A . Route Based on IP Hash
- B . Route Based on Physical NIC Load
- C . Route Based on Originating Virtual Port
- D . Route Based on Source MAC Hash
What is a use case for a VMware Cloud Foundation consolidated architecture model?
- A . Run customer workloads in separate virtual infrastructure workload domains for scalability and autonomous licensing.
- B . Deploy an SDDC for a small-scale environment that can be extended later.
- C . Implement a dedicated management domain for high availability of management workloads.
- D . Deploy a large-scale environment with multiple vCenter instances for workload isolation.
An architect is designing the implementation of the VMware Validated Solutions in an existing VMware Cloud Foundation environment.
The design must meet the following requirements:
Must provide logical networks that can span physical network boundaries and locations
Must use automatic Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configuration for Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches
What should the architect recommend based on these requirements?
- A . Overlay-backed NSX segments
- B . A dedicated distributed virtual switch and dedicated port groups
- C . VLAN-backed NSX segments
- D . A dedicated NSX segment configured manually
An architect is documenting the design for a new multi-site vSphere solution. The customer has informed the architect that the workloads hosted on the solution are managed by application teams, who must perform a number of steps to return the application to service following a failover of the workloads to the secondary site. These steps are defined as the Work Recovery Time (WRT).
The customer has provided the architect with the following information about the workloads:
Critical workloads have a WRT of 12 hours
Production workloads have a WRT of 24 hours
Development workloads have a WRT of 24 hours
All workloads have an RPO of 4 hours
Critical workloads have an RTO of 1 hour
Production workloads have an RTO of 12 hours
Development workloads have an RTO of 24 hours
The customer has also confirmed that the Disaster Recovery solution will not begin the recovery of the development workloads until all critical and production workloads have been recovered at the secondary site.
What would the architect document as the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) for each type of workload in the design?
- A . Critical Workloads: 13 hours
Production Workloads: 36 hours
Development Workloads: 48 hours - B . Critical Workloads: 13 hours
Production Workloads: 36 hours
Development Workloads: 60 hours - C . Critical Workloads: 12 hours
Production Workloads: 24 hours
Development Workloads: 24 hours - D . Critical Workloads: 16 hours
Production Workloads: 28 hours
