CyberArk Sentry – PAM — Question 31

All 80 employees from your satellite Tokyo office are complaining that browsing the PVWA site is very slow; however, your New York headquarters users are not experiencing this. The current PAM solution is:
2 distributed Vaults, the primary one in New York and a satellite in Tokyo
2 PVWA servers, both in New York with load balancing configured
2 PSM servers, both in New York without load balancing configured
1 CPM server in New York
All PVWA, PSM, and CPM servers are connected to the primary Vault
Which proposal optimally resolves the performance issue while minimizing the impact to production?

Answer options

• A. Install two new PVWA servers in Tokyo data center, configure load balancing, connect to the local satellite Vault and provide the URL of new PVWA servers to the local employees.
• B. Install two new PVWA servers in New York data center, configure load balancing and have them connect to the satellite Vault in Tokyo.
• C. Install two new PSM servers in the Tokyo data center, configure load balancing, connect to the local satellite vault, and inform the local employees to browse using the same PVWA URL.
• D. Change the current distributed Vaults architecture, migrate back to a Primary-DR architecture, install two new PVWA servers in the Tokyo data center and configure load balancing. Connect to the local DR Vault and provide the URL of new PVWA servers to the local employees.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because adding PVWA servers in Tokyo and connecting them to the local satellite Vault will significantly improve performance for local users. The other options either do not address the issue effectively or would create additional latency by relying on servers located further away from the Tokyo users.
