An architect is tasked with recommending a solution for a company that is running out of VLANs. Currently the company is running two separate data centers based on vSphere including an Enterprise Plus license. In the first data center, the problem was solved by using VMware NSX and overlay network. In the second data center, there is currently no VMware NSX implementation in place and no budget for additional licenses.
What should the architect recommend as a potential solution to provide support for additional VLANs?

1. A. Separate Distributed Virtual Switches (DVS)
2. B. Private VLANs (PVLAN)
3. C. Virtual Guest Tagging (VGT)
4. D. vSwitch VLAN Tagging (VST)

Correct Answer: A

An architect is designing a new vSphere environment with the following resources:
600 vCPU
5,760 GB RAM
Average resource usage is:
60 vCPU
1,152 GB RAM
The design must meet the following requirements:
The environment has the ability to burst by 25%.
Each host can schedule 36 vCPUs and has 512 GB RAM.
Management overhead is 20%.
What is the minimum number of hosts required to meet the design requirements?

1. A. Three
2. B. Five
3. C. Four
4. D. Two

Correct Answer: D

An architect is designing a new vSphere platform for a customer to meet the following requirements:
The platform must be deployed into five physically separate sites.
The sites are spread across multiple regions.
Some sites require more than one vCenter Server.
The platform must provide an administrator with the ability to access virtual infrastructure components across all sites from a single management tool instance.
Which single sign-on (SSO) design recommendation will meet these requirements?

1. A. Use an SSO domain across all vCenter Server instances
2. B. Use an SSO domain per region
3. C. Use an SSO domain per vCenter Server instance
4. D. Use an SSO domain per site

Correct Answer: C

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following requirement (REQ) and constraints (CON):
REQ01: The customer is looking for a way to limit database virtual machine (VM) placement to save on CPU licensing costs.
CON01: There is a single cluster with no budget to scale.
CON02: All virtual machines must run on the consolidated cluster.
Which two design decisions should the architect make to meet the customer requirement? (Choose two.)

1. A. The solution must use VM-VM anti-affinity rules
2. B. The solution must use vSphere DRS in manual mode
3. C. The solution must use a vRealize Orchestrator workflow for VM placement
4. D. The solution must use VM-Host affinity rules
5. E. The solution must use vSphere VM and host DRS groups

Correct Answer: DE

An architect is tasked with expanding an existing VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution so that it can be used to deliver a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) service off-shore development activities.
The production environment is currently delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers. The two data centers are currently connected to each other through multiple diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency links. The current operations management components are deployed to a dedicated management cluster that is configured with N+1 redundancy. The current VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) has a monthly availability target of 99.5%, which includes all management components.
The customer requires that the new solution scale to support the concurrent running of 500 persistent virtual desktops. The virtual desktops must not share the same virtual infrastructure as existing virtual machines, but can be managed using the same VMware operations management components. Any new VDI service management components must be installed into the management cluster. There is no requirement to back up the virtual desktops because all relevant user data is stored centrally. The VDI service is providing business critical services and must have an availability target of 99.9%.
Given the information from the customer, which two assumptions would the architect include in the design? (Choose two.)

1. A. The existing virtual infrastructure has sufficient capacity to host the new VDI workloads
2. B. The existing operations monitoring tools have sufficient capacity to monitor the new VDI services
3. C. The existing management cluster has enough available capacity to host any VDI service management component
4. D. The management cluster has N+1 redundancy
5. E. The VDI service has a higher service-level agreement (SLA) than the operations management SLA
