CCSP Exam - Question 184


Other than cost savings realized due to measured service, what is another facet of cloud computing that will typically save substantial costs in time and money for an organization in the event of a disaster?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

Resource pooling is a fundamental characteristic of cloud computing that can significantly enhance disaster recovery efforts. It allows cloud providers to allocate and manage resources from a common pool to meet the needs of multiple clients dynamically. In the event of a disaster, this flexibility ensures that resources such as storage, computing power, and network services can be rapidly redistributed to maintain business continuity, minimizing downtime and the associated costs. This method of efficiently managing and scaling resources helps an organization to quickly recover and maintain operations, thereby saving substantial costs in both time and money.

It depends on the type of disaster, but 'broad network access' is probably the best answer here. If your premises has to shut down (e.g. Covid!) then you can still access your services from a backup location (e.g. from my bed!).

Broad network access, it eliminates the need for having either a second place of operations or having to lease it from a third party when there's a disaster. Both are very costly and are eliminated when people can work from anywhere.

I would have chosen Rapid elasticity, but the nearest choice is Resource pooling. Resource pooling-- is an IT term used in cloud computing environments to describe a situation in which providers serve multiple clients, customers or "tenants" with provisional and scalable services. These services can be adjusted to suit each client's needs without any changes being apparent to the client or end-user

Broad network access is something that, in a way, goes against the idea of a private cloud. However, as more employees use smartphones, tablets and other devices with online connectivity, they want to access company resources and continue to work from these devices.

Disaster is not defined. Broad Network access would be more valuable in situations where a disaster impacts the office space and data center, forcing users to disperse .
