2V0-21.23 Question 145
Single answerAn organization is planning to implement a disaster recovery solution for their virtualized environment. They want to replicate virtual machine data from their primary site to a secondary site with minimal performance impact on the application workload. Which VMware vCenter replication option would be the most suitable in this scenario?
- A
VMware vSphere Replication
- B
VMware Site Recovery Manager with array-based replication
- C
vSAN Stretched Cluster
- D
VMware vSphere Fault Tolerance
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
VMware vSphere Replication is the best choice for this scenario because it allows for asynchronous replication of virtual machines at the hypervisor level without requiring specific storage arrays, ensuring minimal application performance impact. Other options either require specific storage hardware, are designed for different purposes, or do not serve as a disaster recovery solution.
- A. Correct.
VMware vSphere Replication is a suitable option for replicating virtual machine data at the hypervisor level and does not require specific storage hardware, making it efficient and flexible for disaster recovery scenarios.
- B. Incorrect.
VMware Site Recovery Manager with array-based replication is a valid option, but it depends on compatible storage arrays and may not minimize performance impact as effectively as vSphere Replication in this scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
vSAN Stretched Cluster is designed for high availability within a single logical cluster and is not primarily a replication solution for disaster recovery between primary and secondary sites.
- D. Incorrect.
VMware vSphere Fault Tolerance provides continuous availability for a virtual machine but is not a replication solution for disaster recovery purposes.
