What is the maximum RPO that can be configured for VMs using the Near Sync feature?

30 Minutes
15 Minutes
5 Minutes
1 Hour

The correct answer is: 15 Minutes

The Near Sync feature in Nutanix is designed for near real-time data replication to provide business continuity by enabling a reduced Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for virtual machines (VMs). The maximum RPO that can be configured using Near Sync is 15 minutes. This means that VMs can be configured to capture changes every 15 minutes, ensuring that in the event of a failure or disaster, the maximum amount of data that could be lost is limited to the data that was generated in that 15-minute window. This greatly enhances the level of data protection and minimizes potential downtime, making it a critical feature for environments where data availability and integrity are essential. Other options, while they represent different RPO configurations, do not align with the capabilities provided by Near Sync. For instance, the maximum RPO being longer than 15 minutes would not leverage the full benefits of the Near Sync feature, which specifically emphasizes rapid recovery times and minimal data loss.
