An administrator needs to configure Disaster Recovery for mission-critical workloads and requires an automated recovery...

For mission-critical workloads, the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is a primary concern.

Multicloud Snapshot Technology (MST)coupled with aPilot Light Deploymentprovides the necessary infrastructure to support an automated recovery plan. In a Pilot Light scenario, a small, " always-on " version of the Nutanix cluster (usually the minimum number of nodes) is maintained in AWS to host Prism Central and handle background replication tasks. Because the management layer is already active, recovery plans can be fully automated to power on VMs and adjust networking instantly upon failure. In contrast, a " Zero Compute " deployment lacks an active management interface, requiring manual intervention to provision a cluster before recovery can begin, which significantly increases RTO and prevents full automation.
