Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 397

A retail company has developed a new record-keeping application for employees to track customer orders. The application must be deployed on the company's existing infrastructure. The host servers are in a data center situated in a different country than where the majority of users work. The configuration for the database server is:
IP: 10.10.24.18 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Hostname: ord123456789-Live-001 MAC: 18-34-E8-6F-C7-35

The new application will have a high volume of concurrent users, and performance is a priority. What must be considered by the team regarding the impact on application performance due to the planned deployment?

Answer options

• A. connectivity loss
• B. jitter
• C. latency
• D. decreased bandwidth

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as latency refers to the delay experienced in data transmission over a network, which will significantly affect the application's performance given the geographical distance. Other options, while they can impact performance, do not specifically address the delay caused by the distance between the servers and users.
