A company has the requirement of ensuring that business-critical applications have the necessary network bandwidth to function optimally and maintain a consistent quality of service (QoS).
Which statement would be included in the logical design to support this requirement?
Which four factors should an architect consider when calculating the number of hosts required for a new multi-site vSphere-based solution that utilizes external storage? (Choose four.)
An architect is designing a new vSphere solution. The solution will be used to host workloads that have multiple dependencies. The customer provides the following information regarding the workloads:
Workload 1: Self-Service Portal
Workload 2: Database
Workload 3: Identity Broker
Workload 4: Reporting Tool
Workload 5: Management Tool
Application A is formed of workloads 1 and 2 and has a dependency on workload 3
Application B is formed of workloads 2 and 4 and has a dependency on workload 3
Application C is formed of workload 5 and has a dependency on workload 4
How should the architect document the vSphere HA requirements to ensure that all of the applications can be recovered in the event of a host failure while observing the dependencies?
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, including the recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO):
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 production and development workloads are managed by the same team and 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.
Which three statements would the architect document as the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) for workloads within the design? (Choose three.)
A company is expanding an existing vSphere deployment to meet new demands from the business. The following requirements have been identified for the expanded infrastructure:

An architect is designing the datastore configuration of a new vSphere-based solution.
The following information was obtained during the initial meeting with the customer:
There is currently 500 production and DMZ virtual machine workloads spread evenly across the primary and secondary site.
The profile of the workloads (per site) is as follows:

- Production:
-- 50 x Small: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 200 GB disk
-- 100 x Medium: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 200 GB disk
-- 25 x Large: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB disk
The average IO Profile per workload is 70/30 read/write.
The solution should cater to 10% storage growth in the first year.
The solution should cater to 15% virtual machine snapshot overhead.
The storage team has confirmed:
- A scalable external storage array has been deployed per site to support the storage requirements.
- The storage array will connect to all hosts using a dedicated Fibre Channel storage area network fabric.
- Usable storage capacity is available in 10 TB LUNs.
- As many LUNs as required can be provided.
- Every effort should be made to ensure the number of required LUNs is minimized.
The security team has stated that all DMZ and production workloads must remain logically isolated from each other.

An architect is responsible for designing a new vSphere-based solution to meet the following customer requirements:

An architect is creating the design for a vSphere platform that will be used as the target for a migration from multiple legacy vSphere platforms that are being decommissioned. The customer has provided the following information:
Each legacy platform has its own set of virtual machine templates stored in OVF format.
All of the templates need to be migrated to the new platform.
After migration, the templates should be centralized into a single location.
The templates must be accessible to all clusters in the new platform vCenter instance.
Any new templates added to the central location must be automatically available to all clusters.
Administrators must be able to deploy new virtual machines directly from the template instances.
