   A healthcare organization is deploying a VxRail cluster to support a new electronic health records (EHR) system. The system must remain available during a regional network outage that isolates the primary site. The organization has two physical data centers 50 km apart with a low-latency dedicated link between them. The EHR vendor requires synchronous data replication. Which VxRail deployment model should the architect recommend?

   • AA standard multi-node cluster in the primary site with a backup appliance at the secondary site
   • BA stretched cluster with nodes distributed across both data centers and a witness node at a third location
   • CA single-node cluster at each site with vSphere replication configured between them
   • DA standard multi-node cluster in the primary data center with asynchronous replication to a second cluster at the secondary site

   • AThe vSAN network switches and cables
   • BThe management network switches and cables
   • CThe vCenter Server database
