You are a VMware consultant working at a small managed services company. The company has won a contract with a large company, Company A, to host its test and dev. platform, with the chance on annual review to host the production platform.
Although you have been engaged early in the project due to business requirements, the budget for the project has already been combined with that for another DR project for another company, Company B.
The thought process for this decision is that, if needed, the test systems from Company A have a lower requirement in the unlikely event of Company B having a DR event.
All the items have been bought and are to be delivered. Your role is to take the equipment provided and construct, develop, and implement a scalable working vSphere platform.
The following requirements are stated:
Company A’s test machines must be provided with sufficient resources for BAU.
Company B’s systems must be made available with minimum impact to Company A.
The RTO for Company A is seven days, with an RPO of one month.
Company B’s RTO is 1 hour, and its RPO is 15 minutes.
Using a shared infrastructure in this way is a risk to the project.
A. True
B. False
