VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 33

An administrator is installing vCenter Server for an environment that has 40 ESXi 6.x Hosts and 150 virtual machines.
Which database would meet the minimal requirements needed for this task?

Answer options

• A. vFabric Postgres
• B. Microsoft SQL Express 2008
• C. Microsoft SQL Server 2014
• D. Oracle 11g

Correct answer: A

Explanation

vFabric Postgres is the minimum required database for vCenter Server in this scenario, as it is specifically designed to handle the environment's demands. Microsoft SQL Express 2008 has limitations on database size and concurrent connections that may not support the workload effectively, while Microsoft SQL Server 2014 and Oracle 11g are both more robust options but exceed the minimum requirements needed.
