An administrator is evaluating Nearsync for critical VMs in a Nutanix Disaster Recovery environment. What is the minimum RPO, in minutes, supported by Nearsync replication?
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
Nutanix Disaster Recovery offers several replication tiers to meet varying business Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs). NearSync replication is a specific technology designed to fill the gap between traditional Asynchronous replication and zero-RPO Synchronous replication.
NearSync replication supports a minimum RPO of 1 minute. It achieves this by using Lightweight Snapshots (LWS), which are highly efficient and can be taken much more frequently than standard full snapshots without causing significant I/O overhead on the system. While some versions of Nutanix software allow NearSync to reach RPOs as low as 20 seconds, the standard minimum RPO recognized in the context of the NCP-BC 7.5 evaluation for minutes-based intervals is 1 minute. Option A (0 RPO) is only achievable through Synchronous replication. Option C (15 minutes) is the typical maximum RPO for NearSync before it transitions to Async, and Option D (60 minutes) is the standard interval for Asynchronous replication.
Understanding these thresholds is essential for administrators when designing protection policies for mission- critical workloads.
