VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 43

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following requirement that is pertinent to the design of a new vSphere environment:
✑ The Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD) for all Tier 1 applications is one hour.
Which requirement classification is being gathered for the design documentation?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct classification is Recoverability, as it addresses the acceptable downtime for applications during failures. The other options, Manageability, Performance, and Availability, do not specifically relate to the time constraints of system restorability after a failure.
