VMware vSphere 7.x Professional for Service Providers — Question 17

Which native feature could be used to protect virtual machine files and disks containing confidential customer data?

Answer options

• A. VDP
• B. VM encryption
• C. VMware Tools
• D. vCenter HA

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, VDP (vSphere Data Protection), which provides backup and recovery solutions specifically designed for virtual environments. VM encryption (option B) protects data at rest but doesn't provide the same comprehensive backup capabilities as VDP. VMware Tools (option C) enhances VM performance but does not offer data protection features. vCenter HA (option D) provides high availability but is not focused on securing data.
