Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 105

A company data center requires a new disaster recovery solution to host critical services. The solution can sustain several hours of data loss because the services are routinely backed up to an offsite location. Also, the disaster recovery solution must provide 24-hour availability. Due to the strict policy requirements, the company wants to retain complete control of when the failover process occurs.

Which solution meets these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The cold standby solution is appropriate as it allows for the retention of complete control over the failover process and can accommodate the acceptable data loss duration. In contrast, hot standby solutions provide immediate failover but do not meet the data loss tolerance, while warm standby can incur a longer recovery time. Active/active configurations do not align with the requirement of controlling when failover occurs.
