CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 767

A large bank with two geographically dispersed data centers is concerned about major power disruptions at both locations. Every day each location experiences very brief outages that last for a few seconds. However, during the summer a high risk of intentional brownouts that last up to an hour exists, particularly at one of the locations near an industrial smelter. Which of the following is the BEST solution to reduce the risk of data loss?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), as it provides immediate power during outages, ensuring that systems remain operational and data is protected during brief interruptions. While generators can provide power for longer outages, they do not address short disruptions effectively. Daily backups are important for data recovery but do not prevent data loss during power outages.
