Question
A small company wants to use VMware products for its production systems. The system administrator needs to recommend a solution that will deliver High Availability to the company's production applications. What is minimum vSphere offering that will support this requirement?
Options
- AvSphere Essentials
- BvSphere Essentials Plus
- CvSphere Hypervisor
- DvSphere Standard
Explanation
VMware vSphere High Availability (HA) is not included in all vSphere license tiers. The question asks for the minimum offering that includes HA support.
Common mistakes.
- A. vSphere Essentials includes vCenter Server Essentials and vMotion but does not include vSphere HA, making it insufficient for the HA requirement.
- C. vSphere Hypervisor (free ESXi) is a standalone hypervisor with no vCenter integration and no support for vSphere HA, which requires a vCenter Server.
- D. vSphere Standard does support HA but is not the minimum - vSphere Essentials Plus already provides HA at a lower price point for small environments.
Concept tested. vSphere edition licensing and HA availability
