Single answerA company is using VMware Cloud on AWS and wants to implement a disaster recovery (DR) solution. The company needs to ensure minimal downtime and data loss in case of a site failure. They also require the solution to support automated failover and failback, while leveraging VMware vSphere Replication. Which VMware solution is most appropriate for this scenario?
- A
VMware Site Recovery
- B
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery
- C
VMware vSphere HA
- D
VMware vRealize Operations Manager
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
VMware Site Recovery is built to work seamlessly with VMware Cloud on AWS, offering a robust disaster recovery solution that supports vSphere Replication, automated failover, and failback. It is specifically designed to address the requirements outlined in the scenario. Other options either lack disaster recovery capabilities or do not align with the vSphere Replication requirement.
- A. Correct.
VMware Site Recovery is the most appropriate solution for this scenario as it integrates with VMware Cloud on AWS to provide disaster recovery capabilities, including vSphere Replication, automated failover, and failback.
- B. Incorrect.
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is a valid disaster recovery solution but primarily uses a scale-out disaster recovery architecture, which is different from the specific vSphere Replication approach described in the scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
VMware vSphere HA provides high availability within a single cluster but does not offer disaster recovery capabilities across sites or automated failover/failback.
- D. Incorrect.
VMware vRealize Operations Manager focuses on proactive monitoring and performance management, not disaster recovery.
