VMware App Volumes 4 Specialist — Question 37

An administrator is working with an application which has three characteristics:
✑ latency sensitive
✑ database striped over multiple virtual disks
✑ no application redundancy
Which storage policies meet the VM performance and cluster constraint while protecting against at least 1 failure?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

RAID 5 with a Stripe Width of 1 allows for a balance of performance and redundancy, protecting against one disk failure while still being suitable for latency-sensitive applications. RAID 1 options do not provide the required space efficiency, and RAID 6, while offering more redundancy, introduces additional latency which is not suitable for the application's needs.
