IBM Maximo Application Suite v8.x Administrator — Question 5

Which statement best describes an IBM Cloud multizone region (MZR)?

Answer options

• A. A region that offers increased security compared to single zone regions
• B. A region where a failure in one zone affects all other zones
• C. A region with multiple geographical locations
• D. A region that consists of at least three or more separate and interconnected zones

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because an IBM Cloud multizone region (MZR) is specifically designed to contain at least three separate and interconnected zones to ensure high availability and resilience. Option A is incorrect as MZRs do not inherently offer increased security over single zone regions. Option B is false since a failure in one zone does not impact the others in a properly designed MZR. Option C is misleading because it does not accurately reflect the requirement for interconnected zones.
