VMware vSAN Administrator (2025) — Question 35

An architect is designing a private cloud infrastructure based on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) for a client. The architect documented the following requirements and constraints from the client.
The client has three datacenters, all located within a 1 mile radius of the headquarter campus with high speed LAN connectivity between them.
The private cloud must be hosted within the client's on-premise datacenter at their headquarters.
The client would like to protect against outages with no data loss in the event of losing a single datacenter.
Which design model would meet these requirements and constraints?

Answer options

• A. VCF fleet with fault domains on a stretched cluster model
• B. VCF fleet with disaster recovery on a single-rack cluster model
• C. VCF fleet with disaster recovery on a multi-rack cluster model
• D. VCF fleet with fault domains on a multi-rack cluster model

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a stretched cluster model with fault domains allows for continuous availability and no data loss during a single datacenter failure. Options B and C, which focus on disaster recovery rather than high availability, do not fulfill the no data loss requirement, while option D does not leverage the benefits of a stretched cluster for this scenario.
