A company, which is located in a coastal town, retrofitted an office building for a new data center. The underground fiber optics were brought in and connected to the switches in the basement network MDF. A server data center was built on the fifth floor with the two rooms vertically connected by fiber optics. Which of the following types of environmental sensors is most needed?
Given the company's location in a coastal town and the fact that the network MDF is in the basement, the most critical environmental sensor would be a water sensor in the network MDF. Basements in coastal areas are particularly susceptible to flooding. Installing a water sensor in the basement MDF ensures that any potential flooding or water ingress is detected early, which is crucial for protecting the network infrastructure located there from water damage.
water will get to the basement before it gets to the fifth floor, most likely
B. Water sensor in the network MDF. - I think the question is getting at potential flood risk. The basement is where the MDF is so you would want to have water sensor in the basement which is most likely to place a flood would occur in the building.
While a temperature sensor in the network MDF (A) is important for monitoring the environmental conditions in the network equipment room, the mention of the coastal town location suggests a potential risk of water-related issues, making a water sensor in the data center (D) more crucial to address specific concerns in the server data center on the fifth floor.
no its B, 1 because you dont build basements in coastal towns like in FL, 2 D would be ok but rember the other server is on the 5th floor, if the area floods to that hight then it would be a stupid choice on who ever picked the location
I think is A. unless there is a typo error MOF. At first i think is B, Basement, Costal, sure water is a risk. Is a retrofit building sure they survey site for potential risk. If install water sensor. If water rise, your data center is gone definitely, so no point install. Is a basement, sure ventilation is a challenge. monitor temperature is more needed. Capture a baseline, if water rise, sure the room will be much cooler. at least overheat, there is still remedy to implement.
water leak detector is the most needed
Given the company’s location in a coastal town and the fact that the underground fiber optics were connected to the switches in the basement network MDF, the most needed type of environmental sensor would be B. Water sensor in the network MDF
I don't get how this would be considered A. Had there been no mention of a coastal town, then yes. However, it was specified that the MDF is in the basement of a coastal town building. That clearly should make flooding a concern for all equipment in that basement. Answer is B.
D. Water sensor in the data center In a scenario where a company has a data center located in an office building, especially in a coastal town, the risk of water damage due to potential flooding, leaks, or other water-related issues is a significant concern. Therefore, the most needed environmental sensor in this context would be a water sensor in the data center. A water sensor in the data center can detect the presence of water or humidity levels, allowing for early detection of potential water leaks or flooding. Early detection is crucial to prevent damage to servers, networking equipment, and other critical infrastructure housed in the data center.
The Data Center is on the 5th floor. The MDF is in the Basement. Probably "B" If flooding makes it to the 5th floor, they have bigger problems than the servers getting wet.
Given the coastal town location and the setup described, the data center, where critical servers and infrastructure are housed, is usually more susceptible to water-related risks due to its sensitive equipment and potential for severe damage in case of water exposure or leaks. Therefore, placing a water sensor specifically in the data center is highly recommended to promptly detect and mitigate any water-related threats in that critical area.
clearly it B
