EMC Proven Professional – RecoverPoint Specialist — Question 9

A customer has two data centers (Site A and Site B). There is an Isilon cluster in each data center and they use SyncIQ to replicate data between the two data centers.
You have been reviewing their disaster recovery plan and found the following:
✑ The policies specify that SyncIQ runs a replication job every 2 hours and that the job finishes within 1 hour.
✑ Three additional hours will be needed to get servers and the network redirected to work from Site
What is the Recovery Point Objective in this plan?

Answer options

• A. 2 Hours
• B. 3 Hours
• C. 4 Hours
• D. 5 hours

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) indicates the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. In this case, since SyncIQ runs every 2 hours and takes 1 hour to complete, the last available data is from 2 hours ago, plus the 3 hours needed for server redirection, totaling 3 hours for the RPO. The other options do not accurately account for the time needed for redirection and data replication.
