Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is the ideal solution for the company’s needs as it provides automated disaster recovery, failover, failback processes, and non-disruptive recovery plan testing. It ensures minimal downtime for critical applications and meets the requirements of a robust disaster recovery strategy.
- A. Incorrect.
VMware vSphere High Availability (HA) is designed to minimize downtime by restarting VMs on healthy hosts within the same cluster in case of host failure. However, it does not provide disaster recovery capabilities, such as failover to another site.
- B. Correct.
VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is specifically designed for disaster recovery scenarios. It automates failover and failback processes, supports non-disruptive testing of recovery plans, and ensures business continuity during site outages.
- C. Incorrect.
VMware Cloud Foundation is a platform for managing hybrid cloud environments but does not provide disaster recovery-specific features like automated failover or recovery plan testing.
- D. Incorrect.
VMware vSAN is a software-defined storage solution that provides shared storage for vSphere clusters. While it enhances data storage and performance, it does not fulfill the role of a disaster recovery solution.
