2V0-21.23 Question 147
Single answerA company is planning a disaster recovery solution for their virtualized environment. They want to replicate virtual machine data between two vCenter Server instances located in different sites. The solution must support asynchronous replication and allow recovery with minimal downtime. Which of the following VMware replication options would best meet these requirements?
- A
vSphere Replication
- B
VMware Fault Tolerance
- C
vSAN Stretched Clusters
- D
vMotion
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
vSphere Replication is the correct choice because it is a VMware-native solution designed to replicate virtual machine data asynchronously between vCenter Server instances in different sites. This meets the requirements for disaster recovery with minimal downtime. Other options like Fault Tolerance, vSAN Stretched Clusters, and vMotion do not address the specific need for asynchronous replication or are designed for different purposes.
- A. Correct.
vSphere Replication is specifically designed for asynchronous replication of virtual machine data between vCenter Server instances. It provides efficient disaster recovery capabilities with minimal downtime.
- B. Incorrect.
VMware Fault Tolerance provides continuous availability by creating a live shadow instance of a VM on another host, but it is not designed for replicating data between vCenters or across sites.
- C. Incorrect.
vSAN Stretched Clusters provide synchronous replication between sites and require shared storage configurations, which may not meet the requirements for asynchronous replication.
- D. Incorrect.
vMotion allows live migration of virtual machines between hosts or vCenters, but it is not a replication solution and does not fulfill disaster recovery requirements.
