In identifying the business and technical requirements in Data Center design, which of the below is a business requirement?

Question

Options

• AREST API integration
• BUsing Aruba Central as a Centralized Management tool
• CImproving the performance of an application to make users happy
• DImprove oversubscription ratio to 3:1

• A
  8% (5)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  87% (53)
• D
  3% (2)

Explanation

Option C is correct because a business requirement focuses on outcomes that matter to stakeholders - improving application performance to satisfy users is a business goal, expressed in terms of user experience and organizational value, not technical implementation.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (REST API integration) - This is a technical requirement; it specifies how systems will communicate, not what the business needs to achieve.
• B (Aruba Central as management tool) - Choosing a specific vendor platform is a technical decision about tooling and implementation, not a business outcome.
• D (Improve oversubscription ratio to 3:1) - Oversubscription ratios are a technical network design metric, meaningful to engineers but not to business stakeholders.

Memory tip: Ask yourself "Would a non-technical executive care about this?" Business requirements describe what the organization wants to achieve (happy users, lower costs, faster service). Technical requirements describe how to achieve it (APIs, tools, ratios). If it has a number, a vendor name, or a protocol - it's almost certainly technical.
