VCP-VVF IT Architectures Technologies Standards Practice Question
An architect is planning a vSphere Foundation 9.0 deployment for a remote office/branch office (ROBO) location with limited physical security. Which feature should be implemented to protect virtual machine data at rest against physical server theft?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
vSphere VM Encryption managed via a trusted KMIP-compliant key management server.
vSphere VM Encryption protects virtual machine disk files (VMDKs) and configuration files at rest without requiring specific storage array capabilities.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
RAID 6 parity disk grouping on local RAID controllers.
Why it's wrong here
RAID provides fault tolerance against disk failures, not encryption against data theft.
- ✓
vSphere VM Encryption managed via a trusted KMIP-compliant key management server.
Why this is correct
Correct. VM Encryption encrypts disks at rest, rendering stolen physical drives unreadable without the keys.
- ✗
Software iSCSI multipathing over encrypted IPsec tunnels.
Why it's wrong here
IPsec protects data in transit over the network, not data at rest on local storage media.
- ✗
Storage DRS auto-evacuation rules triggered by ambient temperature sensors.
Why it's wrong here
Storage DRS balances I/O and space; it does not protect against physical theft.
