Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 13

A company needs to replicate their VMs to a remote site and must have an RPO of less than 1 hour.
When creating a protection domain, what should an administrator do to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Enable Async Replication with an RPO of 60 minutes
• B. Enable Near-Sync Replication with an RPO of 15 minutes
• C. Enable Entity Sync on the designated VMs
• D. Enable Availability Zones and send the VM to multiple targets

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Near-Sync Replication with an RPO of 15 minutes ensures that the VMs are replicated frequently enough to meet the requirement of less than 1 hour. Option A, while it meets the hour requirement, does not provide the necessary frequency for optimal recovery. Options C and D do not address the RPO requirement directly and would not ensure timely replication to meet the business needs.
