VMware vSphere 7.x Delta — Question 11

An administrator is deploying a new mission critical database. The database requirements are 12 vCPUs and 24GB of RAM.
What can the administrator enable for the lowest possible downtime?

Answer options

• A. DRS
• B. vSphere replication
• C. fault tolerance
• D. proactive HA

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Proactive HA allows for the automatic migration of virtual machines in the event of hardware failure, thereby reducing downtime significantly. DRS is more focused on load balancing rather than minimizing downtime, while vSphere replication is used for disaster recovery rather than immediate uptime. Fault tolerance provides continuous availability but does not specifically address proactive measures against hardware issues.
