You are a VMware designer working on virtualizing a business application. The SLA specifies that
the RTO requirement is 4 hours, and the RPO requirement is 9 hours. After months of successful
use, the system crashes at 1 p.m. To meet the project SLA, which of the following is true?

A.
The application must be brought online and be accessible to users by 10 p.m.

B.
The application must be brought online and be accessible to users by 5 p.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.
