A company is interested in a DRP. The purpose of the plan is to recover business as soon as possible. The MOST effective technique is:

The correct answer is D. active/active.. Active/active is the most effective DRP technique for fastest recovery because all sites are simultaneously live, eliminating failover delay and minimizing RTO to near zero.

Why each option

Active/active is the most effective DRP technique for fastest recovery because all sites are simultaneously live, eliminating failover delay and minimizing RTO to near zero.

Aarchiving.

Archiving preserves historical data copies for compliance and point-in-time restoration but provides no live failover capability, resulting in significant downtime during a disaster.

Bnetwork clustering.

Network clustering improves redundancy within a single site but does not address site-level geographic failures that a full DRP must cover.

Csite mirroring.

Site mirroring replicates data to a secondary site but the secondary typically remains in a passive or warm standby state, requiring manual or automated failover steps that introduce higher RTO than active/active.

Dactive/active.Correct

In an active/active configuration, all nodes across multiple sites are concurrently processing traffic, so if one site fails, remaining sites absorb the load instantly with near-zero Recovery Time Objective (RTO). This is the highest tier of resiliency and the fastest path to business continuity compared to any standby-based approach.
