QuestionQ1

VerifiedIntroduction to Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Joan observed that a server she was responsible for was slowing because of a traffic spike. The additional traffic generated too many requests, consuming all of the server’s memory. As a result, requests had to wait longer before being processed. Because this delay was unacceptable to the business, Joan added extra virtual memory to the server to improve performance. What is this feature called?

Explanation

Scalability is the ability to increase or decrease resources allocated to a workload as demand changes. Increasing memory capacity for a single server is vertical scaling, a form of scalability.

QuestionQ3

VerifiedData Backup Strategies

To guard against a disaster or another site-specific issue, many people use this method to back up their media. The location may be as simple as the system administrator’s home office or as sophisticated as a disaster-hardened, temperature-controlled, high-security bunker with facilities for storing backup media. Which type of backup method is being described?

Explanation

Offsite backup stores media at a location separate from the primary system site, protecting the backup from disasters or other physical problems affecting that site. NIST describes offsite storage as a contingency measure for backup media and notes that physical backup media should be stored sufficiently far from the primary data location.
