CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 241

A company wants to find an affordable way to simulate a fail over of a critical application. The company does not currently have a solution for it. The application consists of 15 servers, and the company would like to simulate on production configurations and IP address schemes. Which of the following would be the most cost-effective solution?

Answer options

• A. Build a warm site and perform a fail over of the application.
• B. Build a cloud IaaS and perform a fail over of the application.
• C. Build a hot site and perform a fail over of the application.
• D. Build a cold site and perform a fail over of the application.
• E. Perform a tabletop fail over of the application.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, as a tabletop failover is a low-cost simulation that allows the company to practice its failover procedures without needing additional infrastructure. The other options involve significant investment in physical sites or cloud resources, which may not be feasible for a company seeking an affordable solution.
