You need to be able to fail over from your main office to your remote office in the event of a disaster. Which NetApp product would you use in this scenario?

• A. Cloud Sync
• B. SnapMirror
• C. StorageGRID
• D. FlexPod

Answer: (B)

Disaster recovery relies on keeping a near real-time copy of data at a remote site and having a way to promote that site to production when the primary site is unavailable. SnapMirror provides the built-in data replication that mirrors NetApp ONTAP volumes or SVMs to a remote system, so you can continuously synchronize updates to the DR site. When disaster strikes, you can perform a failover to the remote site, making it the new production environment, and then fail back when the primary site is restored. This direct replication and failover capability is what makes SnapMirror the ideal choice for DR and failover scenarios.

Other options don’t fit as DR failover solutions in this context: Cloud Sync moves data between on-prem and cloud for migration or tiering rather than maintaining a live DR mirror for immediate failover; StorageGRID is an object storage solution, not a primary DR replication and failover mechanism for ONTAP; FlexPod is a validated converged infrastructure platform, not a specific DR replication tool.
