2V0-41.24 Question 109
Single answerAn organization is planning to deploy multiple NSX Edge nodes to support a large-scale NSX-T Data Center environment. The design team needs to ensure the Edge nodes are capable of handling high-performance workloads, including traffic-intensive services like VPN and load balancing. Which NSX Edge node form factor and sizing options would be most appropriate for this scenario?
- A
Medium form factor with 4 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, and 120 GB disk space
- B
Large form factor with 8 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM, and 120 GB disk space
- C
Extra-large form factor with 16 vCPUs, 32 GB RAM, and 200 GB disk space
- D
Small form factor with 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM, and 120 GB disk space
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
For large-scale NSX-T Data Center environments with traffic-intensive workloads, the extra-large NSX Edge node form factor is the most appropriate choice. It provides the highest resource allocation (16 vCPUs, 32 GB RAM, 200 GB disk space) to support demanding services like VPN and load balancing. Smaller form factors, such as medium or large, may not be sufficient for the required performance and scalability.
- A. Incorrect.
The medium form factor is suitable for general-purpose workloads but may not provide sufficient resources for high-performance services like VPN and load balancing in large-scale environments.
- B. Incorrect.
The large form factor offers more resources than the medium version but may still be insufficient for extremely traffic-intensive workloads in a large-scale NSX deployment.
- C. Correct.
The extra-large form factor is explicitly designed to handle high-performance workloads, including traffic-intensive services, making it the best choice for this scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
The small form factor is designed for minimal workloads and lab environments, making it unsuitable for handling high-performance services in production.
