Question 6
Following a recent acquisition, the architect learns that both companies use vSphere on-premise and will need to combine the data centers into one. The acquired company's licenses will not be renewed for cost-savings related to the acquisition. All consumed vSphere licenses must have active support to support line-of-business operations. The merged environment must maintain 25% spare capacity. The architect has a small budget remaining unallocated for hardware.
The architect has calculated that the current vSphere environment can absorb the acquired company's virtual machines but the cluster will run at 90% memory utilization and at 50% CPU utilization.
Which design decision can the architect make to incorporate the new company's virtual machines into the combined vSphere environment?
Migrate the acquired company's virtual machines into the vSphere environment as it will currently fit.
Use the current budget to add memory to the cluster to increase each ESXi host's capacity and add the new virtual machines.
Purchase extra hosts to add to the cluster in anticipation of adding the acquired company's virtual machines.
Purchase new licenses for some of the acquired company's ESXi hosts and add them to the cluster to hold the acquired company's virtual machines.
Correct answer: B
