VMware vSphere 6 Advanced Design (VCAP6-DCV Design) — Question 36

A solution architect has been tasked with designing a new environment that meets the needs of a growing company, and has obtained this information.
✑ The current capacity will be exhausted in 180 days, and the new infrastructure must be deployed and in production prior to that.
✑ The new servers have a 90-day delivery time.
✑ A data center for disaster recovery has been selected, and it us 20 miles away and connected by MPLS.
✑ The security team will continue to utilize its current investments and VM Encryption for the new environment.
✑ The backup team currently uses Data Domain, and reports show an 8:1 compression and deduplication ratio for backups.
Based on the information obtained, which two statements are assumptions for the new design? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. MPLS will be used to connect the two data centers.
• B. There is 180 days left of current capacity.
• C. Data Domain will get an 8:1 compression and deduplication ratio with the new workloads.
• D. A disaster will NOT affect both data centers.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers, A and C, are assumptions because A suggests the connectivity method between the data centers, which is not explicitly confirmed but is necessary for the design. C assumes that the existing backup efficiency will carry over to new workloads, which may not be guaranteed. Options B and D are not assumptions; B states a fact about current capacity, and D makes a definitive claim about disaster impact, which cannot be assumed.
