VMware NSX-T Data Center Advanced (VCAP-NV Design) — Question 33

An administrator is asked to improve Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for Disaster Recovery (DR) in their company network.
The network has a primary site and a secondary site. The ability to support outages with minimum loss of connectivity to the company's core application is a priority.
Which design should the administrator recommend? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. NSX-T Data Center using an Orchestrator to recover VMs across sites.
• B. NSX-T Data Center using Federation and dependencies set between primary and secondary sites.
• C. NSX-T Data Center using a registered third-party DR solution.
• D. NSX-T Data Center using built-in standard automation DR and secondary site recovery setup.

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as using Federation allows for better management of services and dependencies between the primary and secondary sites, which is crucial for minimizing RPO and RTO. Options A and C, while useful, do not provide the same level of integration and dependency management. Option D lacks the advanced features of Federation, making it less suitable for the specific requirements of improved connectivity and outage support.
