A web service provider has just taken on a very large contract that comes with requirements that are currently not being implemented. In order to meet contractual requirements, the company must achieve the following thresholds:
99.99% uptime

Load time in 3 seconds -

Response time = <1.0 seconds -
Starting with the computing environment, which of the following should a security engineer recommend to best meet the requirements? (Choose three.)

• D. Employing bare-metal loading of applications
• E. Lowering storage input/output
• F. Implementing RAID on the backup servers
• G. Utilizing redundant power for all developer workstations

Correct answer: B, C, D

Explanation

The correct answers, B, C, and D, will enhance the performance and availability of the web service. Deploying a content delivery network (B) improves load times by caching content closer to users, implementing server clusters (C) increases redundancy and reliability, and employing bare-metal loading of applications (D) optimizes performance. The other options do not directly address the need for improved uptime and response times as effectively as the selected options.
