1.An Infrastructure Manager is evaluating the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and operational trade-offs of
expanding a traditional 3-tier SAN environment versus migrating to vSAN HCI for a 20-host VCF
Workload Domain.
The database administrators argue for keeping the 3-tier SAN, citing "independent scaling." The VCF
architects argue for HCI, citing "operational simplicity."
[TCO & Operations Profile]
Existing SAN: Dual Controller Array (Currently at 95% IOPS capacity, 40% disk capacity).
Proposed HCI: 20x vSAN ESA ReadyNodes.
Which of the following statements correctly evaluate the trade-offs and limitations of the 3-tier SAN
architecture in this specific growth scenario? (Select all that apply.)
A. To fix the SAN IOPS bottleneck, the manager must purchase expensive new array controllers, incurring
a massive upfront CapEx hit known as the "Forklift Upgrade."
B. The 3-tier SAN maintains a genuine architectural advantage by allowing the manager to add pure
storage capacity (JBODs) without paying for additional ESXi CPU/RAM licenses.
C. HCI inherently consumes 30% of the physical network bandwidth just to maintain 3-tier legacy
compatibility with Fibre Channel storage arrays.
D. The existing SAN exhibits the "stranded capacity" limitation; it has plenty of free disk space (60%), but
cannot use it for high-IOPS workloads because the controllers are saturated.
E. Expanding HCI node-by-node allows granular OpEx spending (paying only for the CPU/Storage
needed today), whereas SANs require predicting and purchasing 5-years of controller headroom upfront.
Answer: A, B, D, E
2.An Infrastructure Manager is sizing the network requirements for a vSAN ESA Remote Protection
strategy. The organization wants to protect 50 TB of production data with a 15-minute RPO to a
secondary site.
The manager evaluates the backend network impact during the initial seed and subsequent incremental
replications.
[vSAN Performance View - Inter-Site Link (ISL)]
Outbound Replication Traffic
Peak Bandwidth: 18 Gbps
Average Bandwidth: 1.2 Gbps
Congestion: 5
Inbound Client I/O Traffic
Latency: 25ms (Elevated)
Which of the following factors correctly evaluate the trade-offs and operational constraints of sizing
network bandwidth for Remote Protection? (Select all that apply.)
A. The manager should deploy the vSphere Replication appliance to compress the traffic, as native vSAN
Remote Protection cannot compress replication streams.
B. The initial full sync (baseline) will consume significant bandwidth (up to 18 Gbps shown) and must be
throttled to prevent starving active VM I/O on the network.
C. Reducing the RPO from 60 minutes to 15 minutes decreases the peak bandwidth required for each
sync, as fewer delta blocks accumulate between intervals.
D. vSAN ESA Remote Protection uses deduplication during transit, meaning the 50 TB of data will only
consume roughly 10 TB of network bandwidth for the initial seed.
