Backup Proxy Design

Question

A remote office has an eight-node vSphere cluster with VSAN storage. After performing the sizing calculations, it is determined that the proxy role will require 64 CPUs and 128 GB of RAM to meet the stated backup SLAs. How should these proxies be deployed?

Options

  • ADeploy a single physical server with 64 CPUs and 128 GB of RAM.
  • BDeploy two physical proxies with 32 CPUs and 64 GB of RAM.
  • CDeploy four virtual proxies with 16 CPUs and 32 GB of RAM.
  • DDeploy eight virtual proxies with eight CPUs and 16 GB of RAM.

Explanation

The best way to deploy the proxies for the remote office is to deploy eight virtual proxies with eight CPUs and 16 GB of RAM each. This option allows to leverage the Virtual appliance (Hot- Add) mode, which is the recommended transport mode for VSAN storage. Virtual appliance mode enables LAN- free data transfer between the source datastore and the proxy, as well as load balancing and fault tolerance across multiple proxies.
