VMware vSAN Administrator (2025) — Question 4

Which VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Storage Model can be deployed to scale storage capacity independent of compute and network?

Answer options

• A. vSAN Capacity Cluster Model
• B. vSAN ESA Storage Cluster Model
• C. vSAN Compute Cluster Storage Model
• D. vSAN ESA Storage Model

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The vSAN ESA Storage Cluster Model is specifically designed to allow storage capacity to be scaled independently from compute and network resources, making it the correct choice. The other options, such as the vSAN Compute Cluster Storage Model and vSAN Capacity Cluster Model, do not support this level of independent scaling, as they are tied to compute resources.
