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?
Answer options
A: The architecture will extend the Fibre Channel external storage array, scaling out storage and compute by buying additional storage or server capacity as required.
B: The architecture will replace the Fibre Channel storage array with an updated model, scaling out storage capacity as required.
C: The architecture will be based on vSAN Ready Nodes, scaling out storage and compute by buying additional hyper-converged servers as required. Correct answer
D: The architecture will be based on stretched vSAN Ready Nodes, scaling out storage and compute by buying additional hyper-converged servers as required.
Correct Answer:
C. The architecture will be based on vSAN Ready Nodes, scaling out storage and compute by buying additional hyper-converged servers as required.
Explanation

This option aligns with the requirements for growth, scalability, and updating data protection operations. Using vSAN (Virtual SAN) Ready Nodes provides a hyper-converged infrastructure that combines storage and compute resources into a single platform, making it easy to scale both compute and storage without increasing the data center footprint. It also eliminates the need for traditional external storage arrays and allows for better data protection capabilities compared to the agent-based approach.
