What do data protection requirements for a vSphere design focus on?

Following a recent acquisition, the architect learns that both companies use vSphere on-premise and will need to combine the data centers into one. The acquired company's licenses will not be renewed for cost-savings related to the acquisition. All consumed vSphere licenses must have active support to support line-of-business operations. The merged environment must maintain
25% spare capacity. The architect has a small budget remaining unallocated for hardware.
The architect has calculated that the current vSphere environment can absorb the acquired company's virtual machines but the cluster will run at 90% memory utilization and at 50% CPU utilization.
Which design decision can the architect make to incorporate the new company's virtual machines into the combined vSphere environment?

What is the main purpose of analyzing functional requirements?

An architect is finalizing the design for a new vCenter Server High Availability deployment.
What is one thing the architect must document in the design?

An architect is designing storage for a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements:
- Asynchronous replication is required between two sites.
- The impact on the storage layer should not impact the performance of the compute layer.
- Each application tier will require different replication attributes.
- Virtual machine live migration across compute and storage must be supported.
- Virtual machine aware back up will be leveraged. Operational management overhead should be minimized.
- Operational automation should be supported.
Which storage design recommendations would meet the requirements?
