What are the three functional requirements and their associated VMware technologies?

The hardware operations team is planning to purchase new ESXi hosts for the upcoming budget year and is requesting recommendations on the type of servers to purchase for a web application. The web application consists of hundreds of small virtual machines (1 vCPU and 8GB of RAM) that are members of a software cluster.
The solution should have these abilities:
• Recover from ESXi host hardware failures
• Zero downtime for a limited number of critical virtual machines (VMs)
• Migrate running VMs between ESXi hosts without interruption to the operating system
• Perform these functions using VMware ESXi servers, vCenter Server, and high-speed network interfaces
What are the three functional requirements and their associated VMware technologies? (Choose three.)
A. automatic restarts of failed VMs (vSphere HA)
B. high speed network interface (vSphere Distributed Switches)
C. ability to migrate running VMs (vSphere vMotion)
D. fault tolerance for limited number of critical VMs (vSphere FT)
E. VMware ESXi Servers (vSphere Auto Deploy)

  1. Recover from ESXi host hardware failures -> A
    Zero downtime for a limited number of critical VMs -> D
    Migrate running VMs between ESXi hosts without interruption to the OS -> C
    Distributed Switches and Auto Deploy are not necessarily needed to achieve the above, so they’re not requirements.

    Agreed with ACD

  2. Agreed – A, C & D.

    -They need vSphere HA to recover VM’s (web applications) from hardware failure.
    -They need vMotion to move VM’s between hosts without interruption to OS.
    -They need zero downtime of Fault Tolerance (Supports up to 4 vCPU and 64GB RAM on 6.5) to support critical VM’s.

    There is no mention of a need for Distributed Switches (Standard Switches would meet requirements) and no mention of requirements for deployment of ESXi (Auto Deploy).

  3. Seems thats a next tricky question: VSphere FT in 6.5 doesn’t support 8Gb of RAM as far i know, so right answers
    can be ACD
