CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 123

A company is concerned about weather events causing damage to the server room and downtime. Which of the following should the company consider?

Answer options

• A. Clustering servers
• B. Geographic dispersion
• C. Load balancers
• D. Off-site backups

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Geographic dispersion, as it involves spreading servers across different locations to mitigate risks from localized weather events. While clustering servers (A) and load balancers (C) enhance availability and performance, they do not address physical damage from weather. Off-site backups (D) are important for data recovery but do not prevent damage to the server room itself.
