VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 68

A cloud administrator is looking to migrate several dozen workloads from their on-premises location to a VMware public cloud using VMware HCX. A total of nine networks will need to be stretched for the migration. They will also be utilizing the capabilities of the WAN appliance for the migration.
HCX appliance requirements are as follows:

• HCX Manager: 4 vCPU, 12GB Memory
• HCX-IX Interconnect: 8 vCPU, 3GB Memory
• HCX Network Extension: 8 vCPU, 3GB Memory
• HCX WAN Optimization: 8 vCPU, 14GB Memory

What are the on-premises vCPU and memory component requirements for this VMware HCX deployment?

Answer options

• A. 36 vCPUs, 35GB of memory
• B. 30 vCPUs, 36GB of memory
• C. 28 vCPUs, 32GB of memory
• D. 32 vCPUs, 40GB of memory

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the total requirements add up to 36 vCPUs and 35GB of memory when you sum each component: HCX Manager (4 vCPU, 12GB), HCX-IX Interconnect (8 vCPU, 3GB), HCX Network Extension (8 vCPU, 3GB), and HCX WAN Optimization (8 vCPU, 14GB). The other options do not accurately reflect the total needed for a complete HCX deployment.
