A large manufacturing company’s primary data center is located at their head office location. The data center consists of a VMware vCenter environment and numerous ESXi hosts with storage provided by a FlashArray//X70. Their manufacturing plant location has a small number of virtual machines which need to run locally to control the on-site robots and machinery. These virtual machines use vVols storage provided by a FlashArray//X20 and are managed by a local vCenter appliance. The company wants to protect the manufacturing plant virtual machines by replicating them to the head office data center.   What should the architect recommend to replicate the virtual machines to the head office at the lowest cost?

A Pure customer currently has a 10TB on-site database running on a non-virtualized server. Their data is hosted on a FlashArray and backed up daily via a cloud-aware backup utility. They want to use their 1Gb ExpressRoute to Azure to duplicate the database to an Azure VM connected to a Cloud Block Store (CBS) array, and refresh the data weekly.   What is the quickest way an architect can meet these requirements?
