VMware vSphere 6 Advanced Design (VCAP6-DCV Design) — Question 51

A solution architect has been tasked with designing a new environment for a company's growing needs, and has obtained this information:
✑ Uptime is critical during regular business hours when 95% of the transactions occur. Application uptime must be 99.9% during those hours.
✑ In a true disaster, the business can withstand a day of data loss and half a day of downtime.
✑ The company is one year into a 5-year contact with the co-lo data center.
✑ The building that is currently occupied no longer has any floor space available, but the company has 3 empty racks of space. The co-lo can provide up to
11KVA of power per rack.
✑ There are current contains with Dell to provide servers and with Cisco to provide the network components
✑ The network team has standardized on an end-to-end 10Gb network.
Based on this information, what are two requirements for the new design? (Choose two.)

Answer options

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answer includes A and C. A is correct because the business can tolerate up to 24 hours of downtime in a disaster, indicating an RTO of 24 hours is required. C is accurate as it reflects the necessity for the application to maintain 99.9% uptime during business hours. B is incorrect since it suggests a shorter RTO than what the business can handle, and D is not a requirement but rather a statement of available resources.
