You are a VMware architect working at a company where a business application is being rolled
out. Based on conversations with the business, you establish that the RTO requirement is 2 hours,
and the RPO requirement is 3 hours. Consider a situation in which the VMware platform is out of
service following multiple hardware issues. The application dropped from service at 2 p.m. To
meet the application business SLA, which of the following is true?
A.
When the application is brought online, the data must be from a version as of 4 p.m.
B.
When the application is brought online, the data must be from a version as of 11 a.m.
Explanation:
The recovery time objective (RTO)—also known as the return to operation—is the amount of timeit
takes to restore a service after a failure has taken place. The recovery point objective (RPO) is the
point intime to which the system needs to be restored following a failure.
