A healthcare provider replicates VMs to a DR site that is managed by a third-party vendor. The provider must ensure that the vendor cannot access the replicated data without authorization. Which measure is most effective?

Encrypt the replicated data with a key managed by the provider.

Use a VPN for replication traffic.

Store the replication data in a separate VLAN.

Rely on the vendor's security certifications.

A company is choosing between synchronous and asynchronous replication for its virtualized DR environment. The application is latency-sensitive, and the network link between sites has a latency of 50 ms. The RPO requirement is 15 minutes. Which replication strategy is most appropriate?

Synchronous replication with a larger RPO.

Asynchronous replication, because it meets the RPO and avoids adding latency to production writes.

Asynchronous replication with a 1-hour RPO.

Synchronous replication, because it provides zero data loss.

Why is it important to regularly test a virtualization-based disaster recovery plan?

To eliminate the need for ongoing monitoring of virtual machines

To guarantee that no data loss will occur during a disaster

To permanently increase the storage capacity of the recovery site

To identify gaps and ensure that recovery procedures work as expected

An organization uses VMware vSphere snapshots as part of its DR testing process. The DR team needs to restore a VM to a specific point-in-time state to validate a recovery procedure. The VM currently has a snapshot chain with three snapshots. After restoring to the oldest snapshot, the team notices that the VM's virtual disk is larger than expected and performance is degraded. What should the team do to resolve this issue?

Consolidate the snapshot chain by using the 'Delete All' option in vSphere.

Increase the virtual disk size to accommodate the snapshot data.

Power off the VM and then power it back on to clear the snapshot files.

Delete the other snapshots after confirming the restore is successful.

Which compliance consideration is most directly relevant when replicating virtual machines to a secondary site located in a different geographic region?

Data residency and sovereignty regulations

The brand of hypervisor used at the primary site

The number of virtual machines being replicated

The color of the server racks at the secondary site
