QuestionQ15

Perform DR and Data Protection in a Multicloud Environment

An administrator must protect a set of mission-critical virtual machines and needs to meet the following business requirements:

  • The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) must be configured to 5 minutes.
  • Any new mission-critical VMs must be protected automatically.

Which data protection type satisfies these requirements?

Explanation

Protection Policies (available through Prism Central/Leap) enable automatic protection of VMs by Category, so newly created VMs that match the category are automatically added to protection — a capability that legacy Protection Domains do not offer, since they require manual VM assignment. To achieve an RPO of 5 minutes, NearSync replication must be used, as it supports RPO values as low as 1 minute, whereas Asynchronous replication only supports RPO values of 60 minutes or greater. Combining both requirements points to a Protection Policy configured with NearSync replication.
