The following is a list of requirements from a discovery workshop for a new VMware hosting platform system design:

REQ001 - The architecture must support recoverability to the VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) service.

REQ002 - The architecture must support high availability (HA) and fault tolerance (FT).

REQ003 - The architecture must support reducing existing energy consumption and carbon footprint.

REQ004 - The architecture must provide support for network virtualization using distributed virtual switches.

Which requirement would be classified as a business (formerly functional) requirement?

An architect is working on a new VMware vSphere design and notes the following information during interviews with stakeholders:

The company has previously worked with multiple VMware partners

The company has an internal security policy that is referenced in long running contracts

The company has an Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) with VMware

The company has a multi-year cloud subscription agreement

Which of these is a business factor that will impact this design?

An architect is designing an upgrade to an existing vSphere environment. The project has been created to provide options for enabling growth and scalability, without increasing the data center footprint. The CIO has also tasked the architect with updating data protection operations, from the current agent-based backup approach.

During a workshop with key stakeholders, the following information has been noted:

The existing vSphere environment uses an external fibre attached storage array for the vSphere environment

The storage array is connected via 4 Gbps fibre cards host bus adaptors (HBAs)

The storage array does not support VMware Storage APIs—Data Protection (VADP)

The architecture must support scaling virtual machines CPU, memory, and storage

The environment will grow by an additional 20% virtual machines year over year

Only two additional racks of equipment can be provisioned

Which design choice will meet these requirements?

An architect is responsible for extending the hosting design for a customer. The customer has a mission-critical 3-node application which is load balanced in an active/active/passive configuration. The application administrator requests that the virtual infrastructure team be responsible for maintaining platform level availability. An organizational policy exists to mandate the highest possible availability for mission-critical applications.

Based on the resource requirements, the architect has made the following design decision:

The target vSphere cluster contains three VMware ESXi host servers

A combination of which additional four physical design decisions should the architect make to maximize availability of the application? (Choose four.)

An architect is reviewing the information provided by a customer for a new vSphere solution design. The customer has stated that some of the virtual machines (VMs) that will be hosted on the new solution handle credit card information from their users as part of an online payment application, and that some of the information will need to be stored temporarily to allow transactions to be completed. Therefore, the solution must be designed to be able to mask or hash the stored information as they will need to show compliance against common industry standards that contain references to the requirements for handling sensitive information.

Which design quality is being requested by the customer?
