QuestionQ5

SAN solution assessment

An organization currently uses a NetApp Fibre Channel, block-based solution. With constrained budget and resources, it wants to build a new disaster-recovery site using a NetApp solution. What should the optimal solution include?

  • A SnapMover and Fibre Channel at the disaster recovery site for all hosts
  • B SnapMirror and iSCSI at the disaster recovery site for all hosts
  • C Fibre Channel at both locations using ftp to replicate storage
  • D MetroCluster and NAS
Explanation

NetApp SnapMirror provides storage replication to a secondary system, while iSCSI delivers block storage over standard IP/Ethernet networks and avoids the cost and complexity of Fibre Channel infrastructure at the disaster-recovery site. This is a more economical DR design than MetroCluster, which is intended for higher-availability, site-continuity deployments.
