Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 558 discussion

First lets discuss what a disaster is: Natural disasters (tsunamis/tornados) Man-made disasters (riots/bombs) Health emergencies (pandemics lol) Environmental disasters (oil spills/deforestation) Social/Political disasters (government shutting down certain grids) Now lets talk about low cost disaster recovery solutions that address these issues: Generator? Yes, however if you need to flee the building, that will not address the issue. This can be reused to almost every single option. The only options that address A DISASTER will be a low cost duplicate site (cold site) and low cost backups (cloud backups). Multiday power outages signal that there may be a natural disaster.

The Chief Executive Officer wants to create a disaster recovery strategy. Think CEO is asking for more than power outage coverage. Cheapest options are Cold site and cloud backups.

The answer is D and E. As in the question, the power outage is "multiday", so there is no specific time said on how long it the power outage could last. Therefore, having a cold site ready and cloud backups to get back to business is the cheaper option since we have no idea this power outage could last.

disaster recovery strategy = Cold site and UPS

Well, if the issue is dealing with the power outages, you have to go with B and F. None of the others will help if you have no electricity. Even for CompTIA this is a weird question.

A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a low-cost solution that can provide backup power to an organization in case of a power outage. It is a device that provides battery power to a system when the main power source fails. UPS is cheaper compared to generators. Cold site provides power, cooling, and/or office space which waits in the event of a significant outage to the main work site or datacenter. The cold site will require extensive support from engineering and IT personnel to get all necessary servers and equipment migrated and functional. Cold sites are the cheapest cost-recovery option for businesses to utilize.

D and F

Guys, it's for power outages Generator and UPS are the way to go

B should be obvious - a generator, even a fairly large one is MUCH cheaper than a cold site. A generator, so long as you keep the fuel filled, can stay running as long as you need (the ones on NG, which are very common, can certainly run for a couple of weeks without service). F, a UPS, won't do much good for a multi-day outage. A,C - very expensive as well as Cold Site (you still have to lease the space) E Cloud backups - also cheap and off-site storage, always a good practice.

Cold site reduce cost of electricity and cloud backup is cheap to purchase as a company wis.

I like BF here more than DE. A cold site is not operational like a hot site, so the cloud storages will need to be leveraged in the event of a power failure. The problem I foresee, however, is that the outages cannot be predicted, so without a UPS, the systems will not be allowed to gracefully shut down, hence a loss of data up to the last cloud backup will occur. The UPS can provide temporary power for up to several hours in an enterprise environment and allow files to be saved and systems shut down safely. The question inquires about a "disaster recovery strategy to resolve THIS issue," implying the disaster is related to the numerous outages. Cold sites and cloud backups may certainly be applicable for natural disasters, however the consideration of natural disasters seems to be too strong of an inference based on the question's verbiage.

B provides power for a multiday and resolves the issue of a power outage. D provides a cold site which is cost effective.

I get that cloud backups and cold sites are low cost options, but that does not resolve the issue of keeping systems online when you are suffering from multi-day outages.

The issue here is electricity and the question says "The Chief Executive Officer wants to create a disaster recovery strategy to resolve this issue". The low cost solution is Generator and UPS.

Sounds like the power outages is such an ideal place to keep business running. NOT! Business interruptions is costly. If outages persists, the most logical thing is to pack up and make camp elsewhere. Hence, have a cold site on standby for activation and move all data to the cloud for migration.

to resolve THIS ISSUE, which is the Numerous Multiday Power Outages. So, the issue is power interuptions not data issues. Tricky question.

The question reads: "The Chief Executive Officer wants to create a disaster recovery strategy to resolve THIS issue" The Q is clearly asking about "THIS" issue in reference to the multiday outage issue. Take at at face value and pay attention. DO NOT ASSUME on behalf of this fictitious CEO lol
