CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 435

A company wants to add a local redundant data center to its network in case of failure at its primary location. Which of the following would give the LEAST amount of redundancy for the company's network?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A Cold site provides the least redundancy because it is essentially a backup location that does not have active systems running and would require significant time to become operational after a failure. In contrast, Hot and Warm sites have varying degrees of readiness, with Hot sites being fully operational and Warm sites being partially equipped. A Cloud site, while not necessarily a physical local site, often provides high availability and redundancy through distributed resources.
