Question
A company is deploying a Nutanix VDI solution across multiple data centers and will be using Files for their profile\home directories. The company requires that users be able to access profile\home from a local Files cluster at the designated data center they will be logging into, based on the location they are working out of that day. How can the administrator ensure that the solution meets the stated requirements?
Options
- Ause Nutanix Protection Domains for replication.
- Buse Nutanix Advanced File Replication
- Cuse Zetro software to replicate
- Duse PeerSync software to replicate.

Explanation
The requirement is location-aware, active-active or active-passive access to user profile and home directory data stored on Nutanix Files, across multiple geographically distributed clusters. Nutanix Advanced File Replication (part of the Nutanix Files Smart DR / File Analytics suite) enables continuous or scheduled replication of SMB/NFS shares between Files clusters at different sites. When configured correctly, each datacenter maintains a local, up-to-date replica of the share, so users logging in at any location read and write to a local copy rather than traversing a WAN link. Protection Domains (Answer A) replicate block-level VM data, not Files shares. Zerto (Answer C) and PeerSync (Answer D) are third-party tools not natively integrated with Nutanix Files. Answer B is the native Nutanix solution for this use case.
