VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 52
A VMware architect has been tasked to deploy a VCF environment for a large federal organization. Security, availability, and redundancy are key requirements for the deployment. The administrator has been asked to keep the cost down as well.
A standard deployment of VCF is being planned for the headquarters. The first VI domain is estimated to have 5,000 VMs.
Which vCenter Server appliance sizing should the architect use for the VI workload domain?
Answer options
- A. Large vCenter Server appliance with default storage size
- B. Small vCenter Server appliance with X-Large storage size
- C. Medium vCenter Server appliance with large storage size
- D. Medium vCenter Server appliance with default storage size
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct choice is A, as a large vCenter Server appliance is better suited for managing a high number of VMs, like the 5,000 expected in this deployment. The other options either under-size the vCenter Server appliance or misalign the storage sizes, which could lead to performance issues and inadequate management capabilities.
