CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 297

A multinational bank hosts several servers in its data center. These servers run a business-critical application used by customers to access their account information. Which of the following should the bank use to ensure accessibility during peak usage times?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A load balancer is essential for distributing incoming traffic across multiple servers, ensuring that no single server becomes overwhelmed during peak usage times. Cloud backups, geographic dispersal, and disk multipathing do not directly address the need for managing traffic and maintaining application accessibility under high load conditions.
