VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 26

An architect is reviewing the information provided by a customer for a new vSphere solution design. The customer has stated that some of the virtual machines (VMs) that will be hosted on the new solution handle credit card information from their users as part of an online payment application, and that some of the information will need to be stored temporarily to allow transactions to be completed. Therefore, the solution must be designed to be able to mask or hash the stored information as they will need to show compliance against common industry standards that contain references to the requirements for handling sensitive information.
Which design quality is being requested by the customer?

Answer options

• A. Manageability
• B. Performance
• C. Security
• D. Recoverability

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Security, as the customer's requirement to mask or hash sensitive credit card information directly relates to protecting data and ensuring compliance with industry standards. The other options, such as Manageability, Performance, and Recoverability, do not specifically address the need for safeguarding sensitive information.
