VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 41

An architect is designing a new vSphere environment with the following resources:
✑ 600 vCPU
✑ 5,760 GB RAM
Average resource usage is:
✑ 60 vCPU
✑ 1,152 GB RAM
The design must meet the following requirements:
✑ The environment has the ability to burst by 25%.
✑ Each host can schedule 36 vCPUs and has 512 GB RAM.
✑ Management overhead is 20%.
What is the minimum number of hosts required to meet the design requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the total resource requirements, including the 25% burst, necessitate a minimum of four hosts to accommodate the vCPU and RAM needs while considering the management overhead. Options A, B, and D do not provide enough capacity to meet the burst requirements and management overhead, hence they are incorrect.
