Which two application requirements apply to this scenario?

A company has requested a new vSphere 6.5 design that will allow it to finally break the 80% virtualization barrier by virtualizing its resource-intensive application.

• The application is highly available by design and includes application-aware clustering software capable of operating as a fully distributed system.

• The company’s Application Version 2.0 consists of 386 small applications and middleware with non-persistent storage and 24 database virtual machines at each data center.

• When coupled with a proper load balancing solution, this application can continue operating even with the loss of an entire data center, but the small applications and middleware tiers within a data center must exist within the same broadcast domain.

• The database tier is tightly controlled with a firewall policy that only allows middleware tier access, and is replicated to other sites using a dedicated circuit.

Which two application requirements apply to this scenario? (Choose two.)
A . The application will require the configuration of an IGMP stub and helper.
B . Shared storage is required by the application clustering software.
C . The application will require one large subnet.
D . The application will require a method of balancing and recovering sessions between sites.

Answer: BD

Explanation:

A) No, as apps need to be on the same broadcast domain, not multicast

B) Yes, HA design and app cluster-aware

C) No, as there are firewall policies and other sites with dedicated circuits

D) Yes, LB required in the event of a data center loss
