2V0-41.24 Question 110
Single answerAn organization is deploying VMware NSX-T Data Center and plans to use NSX Edge nodes for north-south traffic routing. They want to ensure the Edge nodes are appropriately sized to handle their anticipated workloads. The workloads include high throughput applications requiring up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth per Edge node. Which NSX Edge node form factor and sizing option should they choose?
- A
Small form factor with 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM, and 1 disk of 100 GB
- B
Medium form factor with 4 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, and 1 disk of 100 GB
- C
Large form factor with 8 vCPUs, 32 GB RAM, and 1 disk of 200 GB
- D
Extra Large form factor with 16 vCPUs, 64 GB RAM, and 1 disk of 200 GB
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The appropriate NSX Edge node sizing depends on the anticipated bandwidth and workload requirements. In this scenario, the organization requires up to 10 Gbps of throughput, which aligns with the specifications of the Large form factor. Smaller form factors are insufficient for such workloads, while the Extra Large form factor would be overprovisioned for the given requirement.
- A. Incorrect.
The Small form factor is designed for lightweight environments with low throughput requirements and cannot support up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth.
- B. Incorrect.
The Medium form factor provides moderate capacity but is insufficient for workloads requiring up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth.
- C. Correct.
The Large form factor is suitable for high throughput environments and can support up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth, making it the correct choice for this scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
The Extra Large form factor is designed for extremely high throughput environments (greater than 10 Gbps) and is not necessary for the workloads described in the scenario.
