Exam 156-836 Topic 5 Question 45 Discussion

In a Maestro Dual Site environment, the Standby Site is defined as the site that is not currently handling traffic for a specific Security Group (SG). Instead, it maintains synchronized connections with its Security Group Members (SGMs) via the Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrators (MHOs), ensuring it is ready to take over in the event of a failover. This setup enhances high availability and disaster recovery.
Exact Extract:
