Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 16

A customer needs a DR solution designed around the following requirements:
✑ There are 8 ms of latency between Sites A and B
✑ The administrator needs the shortest RPO/RTO possible
✑ Application consistent snapshots are required
✑ Use of Nutanix VSS
Which Data Protection Method should be used?

Answer options

• A. Async
• B. Metro Availability
• C. Near Sync
• D. Cloud Connect

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Async method is suitable for this scenario as it allows for minimal RPO/RTO and can handle the specified latency. Metro Availability requires lower latency for synchronous operations, while Near Sync may not provide the desired RPO/RTO levels. Cloud Connect is generally used for offsite backups rather than low-latency DR solutions.
