2V0-21.23 Question 142
Single answerAn organization is planning its disaster recovery strategy for its vSphere environment. Their primary objectives are to ensure minimal data loss and fast recovery time for mission-critical applications. They also have a secondary site available with sufficient compute and storage resources. Which disaster recovery use case would best address their requirements?
- A
Active-Active replication with stretched clusters
- B
Backup to an offsite location using traditional backup software
- C
Site Recovery Manager (SRM) with asynchronous replication
- D
Manual recovery by restoring VMs from offsite backups
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The organization’s need for minimal data loss and fast recovery time for mission-critical applications is best served by Site Recovery Manager (SRM) with asynchronous replication. SRM automates the disaster recovery process, ensuring a streamlined and efficient failover to the secondary site. While other options provide various levels of data protection or recovery, they do not meet the specific combination of requirements outlined in the scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
Active-Active replication with stretched clusters is ideal for continuous availability scenarios, but it is resource-intensive and requires synchronous replication, which may not suit the organization's requirement for minimal data loss.
- B. Incorrect.
Backup to an offsite location using traditional backup software may ensure data protection but does not provide the fast recovery time required for mission-critical applications.
- C. Correct.
Site Recovery Manager (SRM) with asynchronous replication is the best use case here, as it balances the need for minimal data loss with fast recovery time, leveraging a secondary site for disaster recovery.
- D. Incorrect.
Manual recovery by restoring VMs from offsite backups is a time-consuming process and does not meet the organization's requirement for fast recovery.
