CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 336
A company recently deployed new servers to create an additional cluster to support a new application. The corporate security policy states that all new servers must be resilient. The new cluster has a high-availability configuration for a smooth failover. The failover was successful following a recent power outage, but both clusters lost critical data, which impacted recovery time. Which of the following needs to be configured to help ensure minimal delays when power outages occur in the future?
Answer options
- A. Replication
- B. Caching
- C. Containerization
- D. Redundancy
- E. High availability
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Replication is the correct answer because it ensures that data is copied and stored in multiple locations, which can prevent data loss during outages. The other options, while important for different aspects of system performance and resilience, do not directly address the issue of data loss during power outages like replication does.
