A customer has requested that a new vSphere 6.5 environment be designed with its upcoming data center consolidation effort in mind.
* The existing environment is a mix of physical and virtual servers
* Fibre Channel storage is used for 100 vSphere ESXi hosts and 600 physical servers across three data centers, some of which contain latency sensitive applications critical to ongoing business
* The customer expects to increase its virtualization ratio from 50% today to 90% at the conclusion of this effort, and wants the new design to feature a software-defined storage solution that will decrease their TCO.
Which two statements are the business requirements in this scenario? (Choose two.)

• A. The design must increase virtualization adoption
• B. The design must include VMware vSAN as the primary storage solution
• C. The design must account for business-critical applications
• D. The design must reuse wherever possible to reduce cost

Customer Requirements:
You have been tasked with creating a vSphere 6.5 data center design for an organization. The organization wants three defined virtual machine performance levels:
- Gold Tier - High workload VMs
- Silver Tier - Medium workload VMs
- Bronze Tier - Development workload VMs
The organization has eight ESXi hosts that can be used in the design. Five of the hosts are older "medium performance" hosts, while the last 3 are newer "high performance" hosts that provide better resources when compared to the other hosts. The organization has provided a list of requirements that the design must meet:
- Gold Tier virtual machines should run only on high performance servers, unless no high performance servers are available. They should also be allocated 75% of overall available resources regardless of placement.
- Silver Tier virtual machines should run only on medium performance servers, unless no medium performance servers are available. They should also be allocated 25% of overall available resources regardless of placement.
- Bronze Tier virtual machines should run only on medium performance servers. They should also receive a 35% subset of resources from those allocated to the Silver Tier.
Design Requirements:
Create a logical design that shows resource allocation and cluster policies needed to meet the customer's requirements. The design should include:
- All required server(s)
- All required resource(s)
Place host(s) in the required DRS group(s). Place virtual machines in the appropriate resource pool(s). Connect parent to child resource pool connector(s) where needed. Connect the appropriate affinity connector(s) where needed.

A customer has requested a vSphere 6.5 deployment design that utilizes vCenter Server and the use of VMware-recommended best practices for securing vCenter Server.
Which three actions would satisfy these requirements? (Choose three.)

• A. Assigning the default Administrator role to all administrator users.
• B. Restricting vCenter Server access to only the management network
• C. Removing expired and revoked certificates from vCenter Server system.
• D. Utilizing vSphere CLI and vSphere SDK for Perl scripts.
• E. Synchronizing time in vCenter Server with a NIP source.
