A database contains a large product catalog that is updated periodically, you need to be able to send the entire product catalog to all branch office.

I am confused by the answer to this MS SQL SERVER question. You are administrating all the deployments of MS SQL Server 2012 in your company. A database contains a large product catalog that is updated periodically. You need to be able to send the entire product catalog to all branch offices on a monthly basis. Which configuration should you use ?

The answer for the above question is

>>

Two servers configured in different data centers, sql server availability group configured in synchronous-commit availability mode. One server configured as an active secondary.

<<

But I think the correct answer should be

>>

SQL Server that includes an application database configured to perform snapshot replication.
