VCP-VMC 2024 Question 16
Single answerA company is planning to deploy VMware Cloud on AWS for their hybrid cloud environment. They need to establish connectivity between their on-premises data center and their VMware Cloud SDDC, ensuring low latency and high bandwidth for their workloads. Which connectivity option would best meet these requirements?
- A
Direct Connect
- B
VPN over the public internet
- C
VMware HCX WAN Optimization
- D
SD-WAN using VMware NSX
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
In this scenario, the company requires low-latency and high-bandwidth connectivity for workloads between their on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS. Direct Connect is the optimal solution as it provides a dedicated, high-performance link. Other options, such as VPN over the public internet or SD-WAN, may support connectivity but cannot reliably meet the performance requirements described.
- A. Correct.
Direct Connect provides a dedicated, low-latency, and high-bandwidth connection between the on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS, making it the most suitable option for the described requirements.
- B. Incorrect.
VPN over the public internet can provide connectivity, but it is not ideal for scenarios requiring low latency and high bandwidth due to the inherent limitations of internet-based connections.
- C. Incorrect.
VMware HCX WAN Optimization is used to optimize WAN traffic and aid in workload mobility but does not establish a direct connection between the on-premises data center and VMware Cloud on AWS.
- D. Incorrect.
SD-WAN using VMware NSX provides flexible connectivity for branch offices and remote sites but is not specifically optimized for high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between on-premises data centers and VMware Cloud on AWS.
