CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 502

An organization is building a single virtual environment that will host customer applications and data that require availability at all times. The data center that is hosting the environment will provide generator power and ISP services. Which of the following is the best solution to support the organization's requirement?

Answer options

• A. NIC teaming
• B. Cloud backups
• C. A load balancer appliance
• D. UPS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) ensures that the environment remains operational during power outages. While NIC teaming, cloud backups, and load balancer appliances contribute to availability and reliability, they do not directly address the need for continuous power supply, which is critical for maintaining uptime.
