What is the primary purpose of SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility) in a PowerMax environment?

To provide a backup copy on tape for long-term archival

To replicate data to a remote site for disaster recovery and business continuity

To provide local snapshots for rapid recovery from logical corruption

To replicate data asynchronously to a remote site for disaster recovery

A multinational corporation uses SRDF/A for a database that spans two consistency groups. The RPO is 5 minutes, and the RTO is 30 minutes. The network link between sites is occasionally congested, causing SRDF/A cycles to extend. The storage team is considering switching to SRDF/S to reduce data loss. What is the most important consideration before making this change?

The RTO of 30 minutes will be harder to meet with SRDF/S

The distance between sites will cause increased latency and impact application performance

The RPO of 5 minutes cannot be met with SRDF/S

The consistency groups will need to be reconfigured
