CISA Exam - Question 524


Which of the following is the BEST reason for an organization to use clustering?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

The best reason for an organization to use clustering is to improve system resiliency. Clustering involves grouping multiple servers so that if one server fails, another can take over, thus minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous service availability. This enhances the overall resiliency of the system, making it better equipped to handle failures and maintain operations without disruption.

Protecting an application against a disaster entails providing a way to restore it as quickly as possible. Clustering makes it possible to do so. A cluster is a type of software (agent) that is installed on every server (node) in which the application runs and includes management software that permits control of and tuning the cluster behavior. Clustering protects against single points of failure (a resource whose loss would result in the loss of service or production). The main purpose of clustering is higher availability.

Main purpose of Clustering is that it ensures higher availability. I doubt the answer could be between a & c..Mainly Clustering would make application systems resilient . Decrease is response time is a by-product.
