Question Set 3
You plan to deploy a payroll system to Azure. The payroll system will use Azure virtual machines that run SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Windows.
You need to recommend a business continuity solution for the payroll system.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
– Minimize costs.
– Provide business continuity if an Azure region fails.
– Provide a recovery time objective (RTO) of 120 minutes.
– Provide a recovery point objective (RPO) of five minutes.
What should you include in the recommendation?
A . Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM)
B . Azure Site Recovery
C . unmanaged disks that use geo-redundant storage (GRS)
D . Azure Backup
Answer: C
Explanation:
If your storage account has GRS enabled, then your data is durable even in the case of a complete regional outage or a disaster in which the primary region isn’t recoverable.
Note: The recovery time objective (RTO) is the targeted duration of time and a service level within which a business process must be restored after a disaster (or disruption) in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in business continuity.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Azure Site Recovery would not protect against an Azure region failure.
Azure Site Recovery guarantees a two-hour Recovery Time Objective.
