DRS and vMotion can help increase consolidation ratios.

A guest VM should be sized using ____________. (Choose two)

You are a VMware architect designing a solution for a client with an existing site who wishes to
build a disaster recovery site. The operations manager has presented some information in the
kickoff meeting. The company has 1,000 VMs, and the average VM has the following specs:
18 GB memory
2 vCPU
100 GB
The company already has an existing vendor relationship with a hardware vendor and would like
to keep the existing storage solution roadmap in place. The following requirements are stated:

RTO: 15 minutes
RPO: 15 minutes
Uptime: 99.99%
The existing vendor relationship is a ______________.

The RTO and RPO objectives can be achieved using VMware HA.

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 test machines must be provided with sufficient resources for BAU.
Company B systems can be made available with minimum impact to Company A.
For Company A, RTO is 7 days, and RPO is 1 month.
For company B, RTO is 1 hour, and RPO is 15 minutes.
Using a shared infrastructure in this way is a risk to the project.
