Broadcom NVMe storage solutions deliver the storage performance needed to optimize VMware Cloud Foundation environments.

The Broadcom 25GbE Ethernet Adapter is necessary for network redundancy in VMware environments.

REQ001 specifies an RPO of 15 minutes or less, meaning the maximum data loss in a DR scenario is 15 minutes. REQ002 demands 99.999% availability, but test cases focus on DR validation, so RPO is primary here.
Option C directly tests RPO: if VMs lose no more than 15 minutes of data, the requirement is met, aligning with vSphere Replication or vSAN stretched clusters in VCF 5.2, which can achieve such RPOs.
Option A tests restoration within 15 minutes, which, while related to Recovery Time Objective (RTO), also implies minimal data loss if achieved, indirectly validating RPO in a failover context.
Option B (1 hour of data loss) exceeds the 15-minute RPO, failing REQ001.
Option D (1-hour restoration) tests RTO, not RPO, and isn't tied to data loss limits. VCF DR solutions emphasize these metrics, making A and C the precise validations.
