Question
You are the VMware consultant at a large enterprise. A senior manager is in charge of a project that needs new infrastructure for its application. The application will be used by 3,200 users. Three virtual machines are requested via the help desk. One of the three is a virtual machine with 32 vCPUs allocated for processing. The notes of the request say that the large number of vCPUs (the company template is 2 vCPUs) is justified by the senior manager. The notes also reference the following details from the application manual:
- For every 100 users in the workload, the processing tier of the
application requires one agent handler service.
- Each agent handler requires one single-core CPU.
Which of the following should the VMware consultant do next?
Options
- AConfigure the 32-vCPU box as requested and talk to the users during the rest of the project to understand
- BCreate a proof of concept server with 2 vCPUs and engage with the user/application vendor to understand
- CDeny the virtual machine request and suggest that the processing tier be physical.
