VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 52

An architect decides to separate virtual desktops and application servers into separate vSphere clusters to meet security and management requirements.
What are two implications of this design decision? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. There will be an increase in management overhead.
• B. Identical hardware must be procured for all hosts.
• C. There will be a reduction in performance.
• D. The patching cycles will affect both clusters at the same time.
• E. There will be additional licensing and cost requirements for both clusters.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Choosing to separate virtual desktops and application servers into different vSphere clusters typically leads to an increase in management overhead due to the need to manage multiple clusters independently. Additionally, there are often extra licensing and cost implications for maintaining separate clusters, as opposed to a single unified environment. The other options do not accurately reflect the effects of this design decision.
