VMware End-User Computing Fundamentals — Question 6

What is a compelling reason for adopting NSX?

Answer options

• A. NSX can operate at all layers of the OSI model.
• B. NSX can be installed directly on top of existing networking devices in the place of the original firmware.
• C. NSX programmatically creates, snapshots, deletes, and restores software-based virtual networks.
• D. NSX eliminates the need for networking hardware between physical ESXi hosts.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights NSX's ability to automate the management of virtual networks, which is a key feature. Option A is incorrect because while NSX does operate at multiple OSI layers, this is not a unique reason for its adoption. Option B is misleading as NSX does not replace firmware but operates alongside networking devices. Option D is incorrect as NSX does not eliminate networking hardware but abstracts and manages networks virtually.
