A county disaster-recovery drill needs to recreate agency networks at the backup site without cloning the production physical switch configuration. Which SDDC capability should the candidate identify?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
DR should reprint the agency networks from software, not photocopy the production switch config. Virtual networks are objects you can recreate at the backup site.
Full Explanation
A county disaster-recovery drill that must recreate agency networks at the backup site without cloning production switch configuration needs the ability to reproduce virtual networks as software objects, independent of copying a physical switch fabric. Overlay segments, gateways, and policies can be redeployed or restored as configuration at the recovery site so agencies regain logical topology without photocopying ToR running-configs. Copying each production top-of-rack config first reintroduces fragile physical coupling. Horizon Cloud desktops may restore user access patterns but do not recreate server-side agency networks by themselves. Relocating SaaS email does not recreate on-premises agency networks for DR. Exam caveat: DR still needs prepared transport nodes, underlay IP, and IPAM/DNS readiness at the recovery site; software objects are portable, but fabric prerequisites are not optional. Operational check: in a DR tabletop or lab, recreate a sample agency segment and Tier-1 from backup configuration at the secondary site without applying production switch configs. Keep municipal naming and change tickets aligned with the software objects so civic audits can trace intent. Prefer verifying with a non-production agency workload before promoting the same pattern to life-safety systems.
