VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 18

An architect is designing a new hosting platform for a healthcare provider with proposed locations in three regional areas.
The following set of requirements have been provided by key stakeholders:
REQ001 - The hosting platform must support long distance vMotion between the primary and secondary site.
REQ002 - The maximum RTT (round-trip time) latency between the primary site and the secondary site must be less than 150 milliseconds.
REQ003 - The hosting platform must be manageable from assets located in the third site.
REQ004 - Each location must scale to support a minimum of 35TB storage.
Which requirement would be classified as a technical (formerly non-functional) requirement for the new hosting platform?

Answer options

• A. Each location must scale to support a minimum of 35TB storage.
• B. The maximum RTT (round-trip time) latency between the primary and secondary site must be less than 150 milliseconds.
• C. The hosting platform must be manageable from assets located in the third site.
• D. The hosting platform must support long distance vMotion between the primary and secondary site.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it specifies a performance-related constraint that the system must meet, which is characteristic of technical requirements. Options A, C, and D are more functional in nature, describing capabilities or features of the hosting platform rather than performance metrics.
