CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 384

A company wants to improve the availability of its application with a solution that requires minimal effort in the event a server needs to be replaced or added. Which of the following would be the best solution to meet these objectives?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Load balancing is the optimal choice as it distributes incoming traffic across multiple servers, ensuring that if one server fails, others can take over with minimal disruption. Fault tolerance focuses more on preventing failures rather than managing server additions or replacements efficiently. Proxy servers serve as intermediaries and do not inherently improve application availability. Replication is useful for data redundancy but does not directly address server availability management.
