What type of BCDR (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery) strategy involves the selection of an additional deployment zone and recreation of the processing capacity on a different location?

The strategy that involves the selection of an additional deployment zone and the recreation of processing capacity in a different location is functionality replication. This approach ensures that not only the data is backed up or mirrored at a secondary site, but the entire application or service's operational capability is also restored. This allows for continuous service delivery even if the primary site experiences a disaster or outage. Functionality replication ensures that the environment, including applications, configurations, and necessary resources, can be instantiated quickly at the alternative location, thereby minimizing downtime and maintaining business operations.

On the other hand, data replication, file replication, and database replication primarily focus on duplicating data or specific types of information rather than recreating the entire operational capacity or service functionality in a new zone. Each of these alternatives typically involves different methodologies primarily centered around data preservation and retrieval rather than comprehensive service restoration.
