Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 203
A customer is implementing a business continuity solution for the current data centers. The new location must mitigate the impact of a disaster in any existing data centers by providing an acceptable level of service. The solution must support:
• fully segregated Layer 2 and 3 fault domains
• low or no human intervention for service restoration
• medium to high RPO/RTO for a subset of applications
• asynchronous storage replication for application data
Which disaster recovery solution must the customer select to meet these requirements?
Answer options
- A. mirrored inactive infrastructure facility with fully stretched resources
- B. cold infrastructure facility with basic infrastructure
- C. identical infrastructure facility ready to provide service
- D. partially equipped infrastructure facility for on-demand activation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because a partially equipped infrastructure facility allows for on-demand activation, which meets the needs for low human intervention and supports medium to high RPO/RTO for certain applications. Options A, B, and C do not provide the necessary flexibility and level of readiness required to ensure minimal disruption during a disaster.
