Watch out for

Common IT Architectures Technologies Standards exam traps

▸Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
▸Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
▸Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
▸Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.

Question 1mediummultiple choice

Read the full IT Architectures Technologies Standards explanation →

An enterprise is designing a multi-site vSphere Foundation 9.0 architecture leveraging stretched clustering. What is the maximum supported Round Trip Time (RTT) network latency for synchronous vSAN storage replication between primary and secondary data centers?

Trap 1: 500 milliseconds or less

500ms exceeds acceptable limits for any real-time clustering heartbeats.

Trap 2: 100 milliseconds or less

100ms is typical for long-distance asynchronous replication, not stretched vSAN clusters.

Trap 3: 25 milliseconds or less

25ms is far too high for synchronous vSAN writes and will lead to heartbeat timeouts and I/O stalls.

A
500 milliseconds or less
Why wrong: 500ms exceeds acceptable limits for any real-time clustering heartbeats.
B
100 milliseconds or less
Why wrong: 100ms is typical for long-distance asynchronous replication, not stretched vSAN clusters.
C
5 milliseconds or less
Correct. Synchronous vSAN replication requires strict low-latency links capped at 5ms RTT.
D
25 milliseconds or less
Why wrong: 25ms is far too high for synchronous vSAN writes and will lead to heartbeat timeouts and I/O stalls.
