QuestionQ47

Configure Disaster Recovery and Data Protection within a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

A company is assessing Nutanix DR to protect several business-critical applications and has assigned an administrator to identify an optimal configuration that provides the highest resiliency and the lowest RPO for the production environment.

The company’s production environment is deployed across two physical sites, each hosting one AHV-based cluster.

Which configuration will satisfy the company’s requirements?

  • A Deploy Prism Central instance on one of the sites, configure Prism Central Disaster Recovery, and setup Metro AHV.
  • B Deploy Prism Central instance on each site. Configure Metro Availability using Protection Domains.
  • C Deploy one Prism Central instance on each site and configure synchronous replication using Protection Policy.
  • D Deploy Prism Central instance on one of the sites. Configure NearSync replication using Protection Domains.
Explanation

A Prism Central-based Protection Policy with synchronous replication maintains the protected workload data synchronously at the recovery site, delivering a zero RPO. A Prism Central deployment at each physical site also preserves DR-management availability if either site is lost. Nutanix documents synchronous replication as a 0-RPO capability configured within Protection Policies; NearSync instead has an RPO measured in seconds or minutes.
