You are designing a new disaster recovery (DR) solution for a heavily-utilized application database. The DR site is in a remote datacenter. You should minimize network traffic to the DR site during business hours.
You need to deploy a solution that allows near-real time queries to be run on the secondary instance and
minimizes the effect on performance for the main production database.
Which should you implement?
A . A Microsoft Azure Stretch Database
B . log shipping
C . an Always On Availability Group with all replicas in synchronous-commit mode
D . a file share witness
E . a Microsoft SQL Server failover cluster instance (FCI)
F . a Windows Cluster with a shared-nothing architecture
G . an Always On Availability Group with secondary replicas in asynchronous-commit mode
Answer: C
Explanation:
Synchronous-commit mode emphasizes high availability over performance, at the cost of increased transaction latency.
