Full set: 251 questions
Answer options
A: Data Access Management
B: Global Data Protection
C: Time Machine Cloud Orchestration
D: Global Service Level Agreement Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. Global Service Level Agreement
Explanation

In a Nutanix Database Service (NDB, formerly Era) Multi-Cluster environment, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) define the data protection policies for a Time Machine, including snapshot frequency and retention. When Multi-Cluster is enabled, an administrator can create and manage these SLAs from the central NDB instance and apply them to databases across any of the registered Nutanix clusters. The term "Global Service Level Agreement" best describes this capability of having a centrally managed data protection policy that can be applied universally across the federated clusters, ensuring consistent data protection standards.

Why Incorrect

A. Data Access Management: This refers to Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for managing user permissions, not data protection policies.
B. Global Data Protection: This is a generic industry term, not a specific feature name within Nutanix NDB for managing Time Machine policies.
C. Time Machine Cloud Orchestration: This is not an official Nutanix NDB feature name. NDB orchestrates Time Machines, but this is not the term for the policy framework.
