CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 159

A local university that has a global footprint is undertaking a complete overhaul of its website and associated systems Some of the requirements are:

• Handle an increase in customer demand of resources
• Provide quick and easy access to information
• Provide high-quality streaming media
• Create a user-friendly interface

Which of the following actions should be taken FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Deploy high-availability web servers.
• B. Enhance network access controls.
• C. Implement a content delivery network.
• D. Migrate to a virtualized environment.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Implementing a content delivery network (CDN) should be the first step as it directly addresses the need for high-quality streaming media and quick access to information, especially under increased demand. While deploying high-availability servers and enhancing network access controls are important, they do not specifically target the immediate challenges of content delivery and user experience. Migrating to a virtualized environment can improve resource allocation but is not the most urgent action needed for the outlined requirements.
