CompTIA DataX (CNX-001) — Question 24

A company is transitioning from on premises to a hybrid environment. Due to regulatory standards, the company needs to achieve a high level of reliability and high availability for the connection between its data center and the cloud provider. Which of the following solutions best meets the requirements?

Answer options

• A. Establish a Direct Connect with the cloud provider and peer to two different VPCs in the cloud network.
• B. Establish a Direct Connect with the cloud provider and a redundant connection with a VPN over the internet.
• C. Establish two Direct Connect connections to the cloud provider using two different suppliers.
• D. Establish a VPN with two tunnels to a transit gateway at the cloud provider.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because establishing two Direct Connect connections from different suppliers ensures redundancy and high availability, which is critical for meeting regulatory standards. Option A fails to provide redundancy, while option B relies on the internet for the backup connection, which may not guarantee high reliability. Option D also does not provide the same level of dedicated connectivity as Direct Connect does.
