Introduction to Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Zoe is a fashion designer who owns an online retail store. She was recently named “The Best Upcoming Fashion Designer of the Year” by a highly popular fashion magazine. Because of this recognition, web traffic to her site increased greatly. However, the server hosting her website could not handle the high volume of web traffic, causing the website to crash. To resolve this problem, Zoe purchased two additional servers. Using a solution, she distributed the web-traffic burden among the three servers, helping maximize server efficiency. Which solution did Zoe use?

  • A Point in Time Recovery
  • B Clustering
  • C High-Availability
  • D Load Balancing
Explanation

Load balancing distributes incoming traffic and workloads across multiple servers or other compute targets. Sharing requests among the three servers prevents one server from becoming overloaded and improves the site’s ability to handle increased demand.
