VMware vSAN Administrator (2025) — Question 10

An architect is responsible for designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud for a customer. The architect noted the following requirements during a design workshop:
Co-locate application workloads with VCF management component workloads within the same vSphere cluster.
Shared storage data is always available and 100% current in the event of a single site outage.
Have two sites available no more than 10 miles apart (10ms latency) connected with high speed network technology to host their virtual infrastructure.
Protect against outages of a single site designated as an availability zone.
Which two storage technologies could meet the stated requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B and E. VMFS on Fibre Channel (FC) provides shared storage that can support high availability and is suitable for co-locating workloads, while vSAN offers a distributed storage solution that is also capable of meeting the requirement for high availability and site redundancy. NVME over Fibre Channel (FC), vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols), and NVME over TCP do not fully address the need for shared storage that is consistently available and up-to-date during outages.
