VMware 3V0-21.23 Exam - Topic 1 Question 32 Discussion

Question

An architect is designing an upgrade to an existing vSphere environment. The project has been created to provide options for enabling growth and scalability, without increasing the data center footprint. The CIO has also tasked the architect with updating data protection operations, from the current agent-based backup approach.

During a workshop with key stakeholders, the following information has been noted:

The existing vSphere environment uses an external fibre attached storage array for the vSphere environment

The storage array is connected via 4Gbps fibre cards host bus adaptors (HBAs)

The storage array does not support VMware Storage APIs---Data Protection (VADP)

The architecture must support scaling virtual machines CPU, memory, and storage

The environment will grow by an additional 20% virtual machines year over year

Only two additional racks of equipment can be provisioned

Which design choice will meet these requirements?

Margot · Accepted Answer
