You have an on-premises network and an Azure subscription. The on-premises network has several branch offices.
A branch office in Toronto contains a virtual machine named VM1 that is configured as a file server. Users access the shared files on VM1 from all the offices.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that the users can access the shares files as quickly as possible if the Toronto branch office is inaccessible.
What should you include in the recommendation?

A. B. C. D.B
Use Azure File Sync to centralize your organization's file shares in Azure Files, while keeping the flexibility, performance, and compatibility of an on-premises file server. Azure File Sync transforms Windows Server into a quick cache of your Azure file share.
You need an Azure file share in the same region that you want to deploy Azure File Sync.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Backups would be a slower solution.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-sync-files-deployment-guideThe recommendation to ensure that users can access shared files as quickly as possible if the Toronto branch office is inaccessible would be to use an Azure file share and Azure File Sync (Option B).
Azure file share is a fully managed file share in the cloud that can be accessed using the industry-standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. Azure File Sync is a service that allows you to centralize your file shares in Azure and cache the content in multiple locations, including on-premises servers and branch offices. This combination of Azure file share and Azure File Sync provides a hybrid solution for file sharing and storage.
When the Toronto branch office is accessible, the users can access the shared files directly from the VM1 file server. When the branch office becomes inaccessible, users can still access the shared files from the Azure file share. Azure File Sync allows the most frequently accessed files to be cached locally on servers in other branch offices, so users can access those files with minimal latency. This ensures that the users can access the shared files as quickly as possible if the Toronto branch office is inaccessible.
Option A, a Recovery Services vault and Azure Backup, provides backup and recovery for virtual machines and data in Azure, but it does not address the need for file sharing and storage in the event of a branch office outage.
Option C, Azure blob containers and Azure File Sync, provides object storage and file sync capabilities, but does not provide the SMB protocol that is necessary for file sharing.
Option D, a Recovery Services vault and Windows Server Backup, provides backup and recovery for on-premises servers, but does not address the need for file sharing and storage in the event of a branch office outage.
