VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 4

An architect is designing a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements:
✑ The environment must support 5,000 virtual machines.
✑ The environment will be built initially using 350 hosts.
Which vCenter Server appliance deployment size should the architect specify for the design?

Answer options

• A. Large
• B. Small
• C. Tiny
• D. Medium

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Large vCenter Server appliance is designed to support environments with high capacity, which includes managing up to 10,000 virtual machines and 1,000 hosts. The other options, Small, Tiny, and Medium, do not provide sufficient resources for the requirements specified, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
