A customer has experienced a disaster. Which statement describes a recovery benefit of a vSphere Environment with NSX Data Center?

Question

Options

• ANSX Datacenter enables replication between sites.
• BWorkload mobility is tied to vCenter server.
• CIt simplifies the DR by not requiring the change of the IP addresses of workloads.
• DIt is a requirement to stretch cluster to have a DR scenario.

• B
  2% (1)
• C
  94% (50)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

NSX Data Center virtualizes the network layer, abstracting IP addresses from the underlying physical infrastructure - so when workloads are failed over to a recovery site, they retain their original IP addresses without requiring re-IP operations, which is traditionally the most painful and error-prone part of any DR process. Option A is wrong because replication between sites is handled by vSphere Replication or Site Recovery Manager (SRM), not NSX. Option B is the opposite of true - a core NSX benefit is that workload mobility is decoupled from vCenter Server, enabling cross-vCenter and cross-site movement. Option D is wrong because stretched clusters are one optional DR topology, not a requirement; NSX enables DR without them by maintaining consistent overlay network policies across sites.

Memory tip: Think of NSX as a "network passport" - no matter which physical site your VM travels to during a disaster, it keeps its original "identity" (IP address), so nothing in the environment needs to be updated to find it.
