A financial institution replicates VMs between two data centers. The replication traffic traverses a public network. The institution must ensure that the replicated data is protected from interception. Which measure should be implemented?

Use a dedicated fiber connection between the sites.

Compress the replication data to reduce bandwidth usage.

Use a private VLAN at each site to isolate the replication traffic.

Use a VPN or IPsec tunnel between the two sites to encrypt replication traffic.

A company uses VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) with vSphere Replication for DR. During a real disaster, the primary site is completely lost. The DR team needs to activate the recovery plan. What is the correct action?

Restore from the last snapshot on the primary.

Perform an unplanned failover (disaster recovery) from the SRM console.

Perform a planned failover from the primary site.

Manually copy the VM files from the primary to the DR site.

What is the primary purpose of taking a snapshot of a virtual machine before applying a major software update?

To increase the virtual machine's processing speed

To permanently replace the need for full backups

To migrate the virtual machine to a different host

To enable quick rollback to the pre-update state if the update causes issues

A small business wants to implement a DR solution for its virtualized servers but has a limited budget. The business has two physical hosts at different locations. Which virtualization-based DR strategy is most cost-effective and provides the ability to restart VMs at the secondary site?

Take nightly backups and ship them to the secondary site.

Use a cloud-based DR service that replicates VMs to the cloud.

Use hypervisor-based replication to replicate VMs to the secondary host and configure automatic startup on failure.

Purchase a storage array at each site and use synchronous replication.
