A web service provider has just taken on a very large contract that comes with requirements that are currently not being implemented. In order to meet contractual requirements, the company must achieve the following thresholds:
• 99.99% uptime
• Load time in 3 seconds
• Response time = <1.0 seconds
Starting with the computing environment, which of the following should a security engineer recommend to BEST meet the requirements? (Choose three.)
To achieve 99.99% uptime, a load time of 3 seconds, and a response time of less than 1 second, the following measures are recommended: Deploying a content delivery network will distribute content geographically, reducing latency and improving load times by serving content from the nearest server. Implementing server clusters will provide high availability and redundancy, ensuring that the system remains operational even if one server fails, thus contributing significantly to the uptime requirement. Implementing RAID on the backup servers will add redundancy for data storage, ensuring that data is not lost in the event of hardware failure, thereby contributing to the overall system reliability and uptime.
BC everyone agrees on. E seems like an insane choice to me. It doesn't say OPTIMIZE storage I/O, it says LOWER it. Decreasing the I/O on the storage network will INCREASE latency. It's literally an answer to make the system perform worse. F will in fact improve your uptime. By implementing RAID on the backup servers you are increasing. your resilience against hardware failure and ensuring you don't lose any data.
BCF: will meet the basic requirement
Second this, RAID is needed for maintaining uptime
B. CDN will improve load time C. Implementing server clusters will ensure uptime But how RAID will improve response time?
BC everyone agrees. Out of all other options H seems the best. Because it will be resilient to 0 day attacks. H. Ensuring technological diversity on critical servers
B. Deploying a content delivery network (CDN): A CDN helps distribute content to various servers across different geographical locations, reducing latency and improving load times by serving content to users from the nearest server. This would significantly contribute to meeting load time and response time requirements. C. Implementing server clusters: Server clustering enhances reliability and scalability by distributing the workload among multiple servers. It improves uptime by ensuring redundancy and failover capabilities, reducing the risk of service downtime due to server failures. E. Lowering storage input/output: Optimizing storage input/output (I/O) performance helps improve response times by ensuring data is retrieved or stored quickly. Strategies like optimizing database queries, using caching mechanisms, or employing faster storage solutions can contribute to meeting response time requirements.
B. Deploying a content delivery network (CDN): A CDN helps distribute content geographically, reducing load times by serving content from servers located closer to end-users. This can improve both load time and response time. C. Implementing server clusters: Server clustering involves connecting multiple servers to work together, providing high availability and load balancing. This can enhance uptime and distribute the processing load, contributing to better response times. E. Lowering storage input/output: Optimizing storage input/output can improve overall system performance, contributing to faster load times and reduced response times. This can involve using faster storage devices or optimizing the storage subsystem.
You already addresed uptime by implementing clusters. D addresses response time.
To best meet the requirements of 99.99% uptime, load time in 3 seconds, and response time less than 1.0 seconds, the security engineer should recommend the following: B. Deploying a content delivery network: A CDN helps reduce load times by caching content closer to the end-users, thereby improving response times and overall uptime. C. Implementing server clusters: Server clusters can provide redundancy and load balancing, which are crucial for maintaining high availability (99.99% uptime) and improving response times. H. Ensuring technological diversity on critical servers: Technological diversity can help avoid single points of failure and ensure that critical services remain available, thus contributing to high uptime and reliable performance. These recommendations address performance, redundancy, and high availability, which are critical for meeting the contractual requirements.
B. Deploying a content delivery network (CDN): This will significantly improve load times by caching content closer to users, reducing latency, and speeding up content delivery. C. Implementing server clusters: This will enhance system reliability and uptime by providing redundancy and load balancing. If one server fails, others can take over, ensuring continuous availability. F. Implementing RAID on the backup servers: This will provide data redundancy and reliability, ensuring that data loss or disk failures do not cause extended downtimes, thus contributing to the overall uptime requirement.
BC Learning E, "lowering storage input/output" because storage metrics are really important in performance Learning F, for uptime, not decide yet because RAID.
