Topic #: 4
An administrator is tasked to create a new VMware vSAN cluster. The following information was provided to the administrator:
* Should host high performance application.
* Workload is latency dependent.
* Workload, compute and storage must be in the vSAN cluster.
Which configuration should the administrator choose for this vSAN cluster?
* Should host high performance application.
* Workload is latency dependent.
* Workload, compute and storage must be in the vSAN cluster.
Which configuration should the administrator choose for this vSAN cluster?
Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
The workload requirements specify:
* High-performance application
* Latency-dependent workloads
* Compute and storage must reside in the vSAN cluster
The correct option isvSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA)because:
* ESA is designed forhigh-performance, low-latency applications.
* It leveragesNVMe-based storage devicesand25GbE networking, delivering better IOPS and reduced latency compared to OSA.
* OSA(Original Storage Architecture) is older and less efficient.
* OSA Stretched Cluster(A) is for resilience across sites, not specifically performance.
* vSAN Storage Cluster (B)is a generic term and not specific.
