QuestionQ30

Governance, Risk, and Compliance

The management team at a company with a large, aging server environment is conducting a server risk assessment in order to create a replacement strategy. The replacement strategy will be based upon the likelihood a server will fail, regardless of the criticality of the application running on a particular server. Which of the following should be used to prioritize the server replacements?

Explanation

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is the reliability metric that reflects how likely a piece of hardware is to fail, independent of the criticality of the workload it hosts, making it the right basis for prioritizing replacement of aging servers. SLE and TCO are financial/cost metrics, MTTR measures recovery speed rather than failure likelihood, and MSA is a contractual term.
