Scenario: The Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of a large company has directed their IT
management staff to examine corporate-wide operations and find ways to limit the cost of
operations. The corporate directives have prompted the adoption of company policies that
include the use of virtualization for all new servers and as many services as possible. The
company is subject to government regulations concerning data retention policies for
confidential data. Data must be retained for seven years. An audit of the backup and
recovery environment is performed. The exhibit shows a typical site and how it is connected
to the disaster recovery environment. Data in the primary site is configured on VMAX
storage using FAST-VP to support multiple work load types on a single storage array. Data
is protected by SRDF/A to a remote VMAX which acts as a target for multiple sites. The
remote copy of the data is snapped and copied to tape. Retention is accomplished to
governmental standards by offsite storage of tape in a remote protected facility. The
company has indicated that it has the following requirements in any proposed architecture
for the backup and recovery environment: Refer to Scenario and the exhibit. To satisfy the
stated requirements, the customer wants to use a virtual appliance to limit power and space
consumption in their smaller locations. To replace the current SRDF/A replication model,
which EMC technology should be recommended?

A.
File Management Appliance VE

B.
NetWorker NDMP

C.
