CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 283
A data center has experienced an increase in under-voltage events following electrical grid maintenance outside the facility. These events are leading to occasional losses of system availability. Which of the following would be the most cost-effective solution for the data center to implement?
Answer options
- A. Uninterruptible power supplies with battery backup
- B. Managed power distribution units to track these events
- C. A generator to ensure consistent, normalized power delivery
- D. Dual power supplies to distribute the load more evenly
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The most cost-effective solution is to use Uninterruptible power supplies with battery backup, as they can provide immediate power during under-voltage events. While managed power distribution units and generators offer benefits, they do not directly prevent under-voltage incidents like battery backups do. Dual power supplies help in load distribution but do not address the root cause of power quality issues.
