A city asks whether vSphere can be dropped from the SDDC because NSX-T is already licensed. What should the candidate identify?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
NSX paves virtual streets; it does not become the building the VMs live in. Those buildings still run on vSphere. Licensing NSX does not retire ESXi, and vSAN or Horizon does not take vSphere's compute job.
Full Explanation
NSX-T Data Center virtualizes networking and security for workloads; it does not replace the compute hypervisor. Civic virtual machines on ESXi still require vSphere as the SDDC compute product, typically with vCenter for management. NSX-T does not include a hypervisor that retires ESXi. vSAN is storage and Horizon is end-user computing; neither replaces vSphere because NSX is licensed.
