An architect is responsible for the lifecycle management design for a brownfield vSphere-based solution.
The following information has been provided during initial meetings around the new solution:
Existing heterogeneous server hardware will be used to provide the hosting platform.
The available hardware is:
10 servers that contain 2 x 20-Core Intel Xeon processors and 512 GB RAM from Vendor A
10 servers that contain 2 x 24-Core Intel Xeon processors and 768 GB RAM from Vendor A
20 servers that contain 2 x 16-Core AMD EPYC processors and 512 GB RAM from Vendor B
10 servers that contain 1 x 24-Core AMD EPYC processors and 256 GB RAM from Vendor C
All of the hardware is currently listed on the VMware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).
All existing server hardware has 36 months vendor support remaining.
The requirements from the customer are:
REQ001 - The solution must support the hosting of 5,000 workloads across two physical sites.
REQ002 - The solution should minimize the number of clusters.
REQ003 - The solution must ensure that there is no impact to service when completing upgrades.
Given the resource requirements needed for the solution, the architect has calculated that all of the existing servers will be required to provide sufficient resources for the new environment. The Intel-based servers will be deployed to the primary site and the AMD-based servers will be deployed to the secondary site.
Which four additional design decisions should the architect make to ensure all requirements can be met? (Choose four.)
